Sweet Grilled Apricots with Goat Cheese offer a delightful balance of sweet, savory, and crunchy flavors, with grilled apricots, creamy goat cheese, honey, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
1/3 cup goat cheese
1 tablespoon honey, plus extra for topping
2 large apricots
Butter for brushing the apricots
1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Ground cardamom for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, fold together the goat cheese and honey until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides with melted butter.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the apricot halves, cut side down, for 3-5 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit caramelizes.
- Remove the apricots from the grill and place them on a platter. Fill each apricot half with the goat cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, fresh mint, and a drizzle of honey. Optionally, sprinkle with ground cardamom.
Notes
For fruit substitutes, use peaches, nectarines, or plums.
Switch pine nuts with chopped almonds, pistachios, or walnuts for different crunch.
Use maple syrup or agave nectar as substitutes for honey.
