These are easy/peasy to produce, taste awesome. and make a great presentation. I am using goat’s cheese to provide a wonderful challenger to the sweetness of the grilled peach; however, you could use some ricotta cheese, or another filling. In fact, you could leave the filling out, and just eat the peach with the balsamic reduction and walnuts… Up to you. You are the chef… You are in control. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE

1 tablespoon bourbon

2 tablespoons balsamic reduction

How To Make dessert essentials: balsamic grilled peaches

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Step 3

Chef's Note: I tried peaches at different levels of ripeness, and the ones that work the best are the ripest ones you can find. The kind that are so ripe, if you press, you can leave an indentation in the skin of the peach.
Step 4

Using a small bowl, mix together the honey and bourbon.
Step 5

Brush the two cut portions of the peach, and the pineapple, with the honey/bourbon mixture.
Step 6

Brush the grill grate with the grapeseed oil.
Step 7

Place the peaches, cut side down, and the pineapple onto the hot grill.
Step 8

Chef’s Note: If you do not wish to grill these, you can always use a grill pan (as I am doing), or you can just sear them in a hot pan. The reason for the grill is to get those nice grill marks.
Step 9

Chef's Note: Allow to cook, until they begin to soften, and develop some nice grill marks, about 3 – 4 minutes.
Step 10

Turn the peaches and pineapple over, and allow to cook for an additional 2 – 3 minutes.
Step 11

Add the pineapple slices to serving plates, and then add the peach.
Step 12

Divide the goat’s cheese between the two peaches.
Step 13

Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts.
Step 14

Drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
Step 15

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 16

Serve while still warm from the grill. Enjoy.
Step 17

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
