Ingredients
- ✓2 large ripe peaches
- ✓8 slices smoky bacon
- ✓8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
- ✓0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- ✓2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ✓3 tbsp balsamic glaze
- ✓0.25 tsp flaky sea salt
- ✓0.25 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
💡 Tip: Ensure the grates are clean so the bacon doesn't tear when flipping.
Wrap each peach wedge tightly with a half-slice of bacon. Secure the bacon wrap with a toothpick if necessary, ensuring the seam is tucked neatly underneath.
💡 Tip: Using room-temperature bacon makes wrapping easier as it stretches slightly better.
Place the wrapped peach wedges on the hot grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown on all sides and the peaches are slightly softened.
💡 Tip: Watch for flare-ups from the dripping bacon grease; move peaches to a cooler zone of the grill if needed.
Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices and fresh basil leaves on a large serving platter. Nest out the warm, grilled bacon-wrapped peaches among the cheese and herbs.
💡 Tip: To make it look beautiful, alternate cheese slices, basil, and peach wedges across the plate.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over the entire platter. Finish by sprinkling flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
💡 Tip: Serve immediately while the peaches are still warm and the bacon is crunchy.
📝 Chef's Notes
For a sweet-and-savory upgrade, brush the bacon-wrapped peaches with a touch of maple syrup or honey during the last minute of grilling. Leftovers do not store well because of the fresh mozzarella condensation, so enjoy this dish fresh!
