Notes

💡 Cooking Tips

  • Choose ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape on the grill.
  • Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  • For extra flavor, add a light sprinkle of sea salt on peaches before grilling.
  • Serve slightly warm for the best texture and taste.

🔄 Variations

  • Add Protein: Top with grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon for a full meal.
  • Switch the Cheese: Try blue cheese or burrata for a richer flavor.
  • Nut-Free Option: Replace nuts with sunflower seeds or omit entirely.
  • Fruit Twist: Swap peaches with nectarines or grilled pineapple.
  • Vegan Version: Skip cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
