GRILLED PEACHES WITH PROSCIUTTO
Grilling peaches deepens their natural sweetness, and when they're paired with prosciutto and basil, it's an unbeatable flavor trifecta: sweet, smoky, salty. That said, grilled peaches also pair well with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Heat a gas grill to medium. If you are cooking on a charcoal grill, wait until the fire has died down to medium to low heat.
- Cut the peaches along their seams, all the way around, and twist their halves off their pits. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with olive oil and grill, cut side down, until the fruit has developed grill marks and started to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Brush the tops with oil, turn over and move to the side of the grill to continue cooking over indirect heat, another 4 to 5 minutes. You can add flavor by brushing them with maple syrup and bourbon, or molasses and butter. But if they are perfect peaches, they shouldn't need anything at all.

Spoon some pesto into the center of each peach half, then fold a piece of prosciutto and place it on the edge. Serve immediately.
GRILLED PEACHES
Choose fruit with a fragrant aroma and flesh that yields a bit when pressed gently. If a peach has cuts or tan spots, or if it's rock-hard or mushy, don't buy it. Color has more to do with variety than ripeness.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm peaches for grilling. Avoid peaches that are too soft or have bruises.
- To prevent the peaches from sticking to the grill, lightly oil the grates before cooking.
- Grill the peaches over medium heat until they are slightly charred and tender. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Let the peaches cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle and prevent the cheese from melting too quickly.
- For a more flavorful dish, use a flavored cheese, such as a blue cheese or a goat cheese.
- If you don't have prosciutto, you can use another type of cured meat, such as ham or bacon.
- Serve the grilled peaches immediately, while they are still warm.

Grilled peaches with pecorino and prosciutto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer entertaining. The sweetness of the peaches pairs perfectly with the saltiness of the cheese and the prosciutto. This dish is also a great way to use up any leftover peaches you may have.
