Servings: 24 crostini slices
Cost: $10
Ingredients
- 4 peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges (slightly underripe peaches work best)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 baguette, sliced into 24 slices
- 8 oz mascarpone
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- honey, for drizzling (smoked honey or fresh)
- aged balsamic, for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Prepare the grill for direct heat cooking. If using a gas grill, set to medium heat.
- To grill the peaches: Halve and pit the peaches, and then slice into wedges. Alternatively, slice into wedges while removing the pit. Brush each peach wedge with olive oil
- Place the wedges on the grill and cook for 3 minutes per side, or until desired char marks. Flip and grill the other side for 3 additional minutes. Remove.
- Grill baguette slices: Brush top of slices with olive oil. Place baguette slices on the grill over direct heat and cook 1-2 minutes per side, or until toasted and grill marks appear. Remove.
- Assemble the crostini: Layer the grilled baguette slices with approximately 1 teaspoon of mascarpone, a grilled peach slice, a drizzle of honey, a small drizzle (less than 1/4 teaspoon) of aged balsamic, then top with a pinch of fresh mint.
Notes
Smoked honey: We love using smoked honey for this (made similar this recipe, but before incorporating it with butter), but you can use whatever honey you have lying around.
