Ingredients
Balsamic Reduction
- 1 cup (255 g) balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup (85 g) honey
Cheese Topping
- ¾ cup (180 g) mascarpone cheese
- ¼ cup (60 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
Peaches
- 4 yellow peaches, ripe
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey, for drizzling
- 8 small fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Balsamic Reduction
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat add the balsamic vinegar and boil until it cooks down to half (about 10 minutes). The mixture should be thicker and should stick to the back of a spoon.
- Add the honey to the mixture, stir to combine and remove from heat. Set aside.
Cheese Mixture
- In a medium bowl mix together mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and honey. Set in the fridge to chill while you prepare the peaches.
Peaches
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F)
- Cut peaches in half and remove the pit. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Lightly brush the grill grates with oil and then set the peaches cut side down on the grill grates. Grill undisturbed for 3-4 minutes (depending on grill heat) and then turn the peach 90°. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes and then remove from heat
- Using a 1-inch ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop the cheese mixture on top of each peach, top with a drizzle of balsamic reduction, a basil leaf, and a drizzle of honey.
