Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh peaches
- 120 grams Goat cheese (soft, fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 8 whole Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the peaches thoroughly. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. If the peaches are large, you can cut each half into two smaller wedges.
Using a small spoon or knife, spread a generous layer of goat cheese onto the cut side of each peach half or wedge.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the goat cheese and peaches.
Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces (if preferred) and place a few pieces on top of each peach for added flavor and a fresh, herbaceous touch.
Lightly drizzle the olive oil over the peaches and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
If you'd like, add a final drizzle of balsamic glaze over the top for a sweet and tangy finish.
Serve immediately as an appetizer, snack, or light dessert. These peaches are best enjoyed fresh and at room temperature.
