Grilled peaches wrapped in prosciutto is one easy appetizer that just about everyone can agree on. If you've never tried this simple but elegant dish, you're sorely missing out. Sweet, char-grilled peach wedges wrapped in savory, salty cured meat and drizzled with a simple but delicious balsamic vinaigrette. What's not to love?
They are the perfect, light, summer snack. I usually serve of variety of grilled finger foods at my BBQs including these peaches, maybe some grilled pork kebabs and then I'll throw in this grilled bruschetta bread. But sometimes, I'll just munch on these on their own.
Ingredients
- 2 peaches
- 16 green leaves - arugula, lamb’s lettuce, etc.
- 8 slices prosciutto di Parma
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
How to Make it
Let's explore how to make grilled peaches so you can experience this deliciousness whenever you like.
- Cut peaches. Cut each peach into 8 wedges; set aside.
- Grill the peaches. Heat a grill to medium heat and grill each wedge for just one or two minutes (until slightly tender).
- Slice the prosciutto. Cut each slice of prosciutto in half, lengthwise, so you now have 16 narrower slices.
- Assemble. Place a green leaf and peach slice on top of a prosciutto slice. Wrap each wedge with the prosciutto and place on a serving dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Make the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and salt. Slowly add the oil while whisking thoroughly to combine. Continue whisking until the dressing is fully emulsified.
- Serve. Drizzle the dressing over the prosciutto-wrapped peaches. Serve!
