Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer recipe featuring grilled peaches topped with creamy honey ricotta and crunchy pistachios, perfect as an appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/4 cup shelled, roughly chopped pistachios (unsalted)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse peaches and pat dry. Cut in half and remove pits. Brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 2 tablespoons honey, and lemon zest if using. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  4. Place peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  5. Flip peaches and grill skin side for another 2-3 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep peaches tender but not mushy.
  6. Remove peaches from grill and place cut side up on a serving platter.
  7. Spoon a generous dollop of honey ricotta mixture onto each peach half.
  8. Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the ricotta and drizzle with extra honey. Finish with a pinch of sea salt.
  9. Serve immediately while peaches are warm and ricotta is cool and creamy.

Notes

Use firm peaches to hold shape on the grill. Oil grill grates well to prevent sticking. Remove peaches promptly to avoid overcooking. For vegan option, substitute ricotta with dairy-free cream and honey with maple syrup. Toast pistachios in a dry skillet for 3-5 minutes before chopping for extra flavor.
