2 ripe peaches
2–3 tablespoons pesto
1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional: honey or maple syrup for sweetness
Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
Preheat grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat
Slice brie cheese into 4-6 portions (wedges or slices)
Brush peaches with olive oil, cut in half, and remove pits
Grill fruit cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden and slightly charred
Grill brie for 3-5 minutes until softened and caramelized on edges
Arrange grilled brie and peaches on serving platter
Top with pesto and optional drizzle of honey or maple syrup
