Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole nectarines
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 ounces bleu cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Wash and dry the nectarines thoroughly. Slice each nectarine in half and remove the pits.
Brush the cut side of each nectarine half with olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
Place the nectarines cut-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until grill marks develop and the fruit begins to soften slightly.
Turn the nectarines over and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes on the skin side to warm through.
Remove the nectarines from the grill and place them cut-side up on a serving platter.
Crumble about 1 ounce of bleu cheese onto the center of each nectarine half.
Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey over each nectarine half for a touch of sweetness.
Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground black pepper onto the nectarines to enhance the flavors.
Optional: Garnish the dish with a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve the grilled nectarines warm as a delightful appetizer, side dish, or dessert.
