It's the last day of August, but I had to share one more peach recipe with you. I clipped this recipe out of a Harry & David magazine at least one or two years ago but I had never made it until last weekend. Why oh why. First of all, the peaches are grilled, which intensifies the flavor. Then you add blue cheese and almonds, which gives it a savory and earthy flair and crunch. And then last but certainly not least, they are topped with a drizzle of honey, which brings the sweetness home. These are a simple dessert but oh so good. I highly recommend you make them before peach season is over. Quick!

Note: You can easily scale this recipe down by just putting a few pinches of the blue cheese and almonds on each peach half and drizzling with honey. I know I don't need 12 of these peach halves tempting me!

6 peaches, halved and pitted
12 tablespoons blue cheese, room temperature
12 tablespoons almonds, chopped or sliced
Honey

Preheat your grill to medium high. Grill the peaches cut side down until marked and lightly cooked. Arrange the peaches cut side up and fill each center with the blue cheese and almonds. Drizzle honey on top and serve immediately.

I have been putting blue cheese on everything recently, this looks like a great pairing too! So sad peaches are going away for the fall, I didn't eat enough of them!

This looks really really delicious! Such a unique flavor combo - but I am pretty sure it's stellar

I'm curious... and a little afraid of the blue cheese! hehe But I would try anything once. :)

Emily! I'm loving this recipe. I have a zillion peaches that I need to use up from our adventures in Palisade! This is a great idea!

Hahaha. I'm about to make something similar tonight. This looks lovely and so simple. What kind of blue cheese did you use?

I just used the cheap crumbled blue cheese that comes from my grocery store. I'm sure it would be even more fantastic with a higher quality blue cheese!
