Halved nectarines pick up char and sweetness on a hot grill, then get topped with tangy goat cheese, toasted pistachios, and a honey drizzle. Fresh basil or mint adds a cooling contrast, making this a light appetizer or dessert for warm-weather meals. It comes together in under 20 minutes with minimal prep.

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe nectarines, halved and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, toasted and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. Brush the cut sides of the nectarine halves lightly with olive oil.

  3. Place the nectarines cut-side down on the grill and cook until charred and softened, 3 to 4 minutes.

  4. Flip the nectarines and grill 2 to 3 minutes more, until tender but still holding their shape.

  5. Transfer the nectarine halves cut-side up to a serving platter.

  6. Dollop or crumble the softened goat cheese into the center of each nectarine half.

  7. Drizzle the honey evenly over the nectarines and cheese.

  8. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios, basil, flaky sea salt, and black pepper, then serve immediately.
