Loading...WHAT ARE GRILLED PEACHES WITH BRILLAT?
It is the beautiful marriage of a velvety Georgia peach to a stunning French Normandy cheese. Grilled peaches are the star of this incredibly elegant summer appetizer. The heat of the grill caramelizes the natural sugars in the fruit which creates a lovely jammy quality. This in turn complements the silky Brillat Savarin cheese. But be careful not to pick a peach that is too ripe, you want the texture to be firm enough to hold up to a bit of fire. If you’re buying this fruit locally, in North America they tend to be in season in July.
SUGGESTIONS WHEN MAKING GRILLED PEACHES WITH BRILLAT
- DIY Crostini
Use the grill to make crostini from baguettes cut on a diagonal and brushed with oil. Spread your cheese on the crostini while its still warm to get a lovely semi-melted preparation. Halves work best for grilling this fruit.
- Oil of Your Choice
If Safflower oil isn’t your cup of tea look to other options like extra virgin olive or walnut oil.
WHAT PAIRS WELL GRILLED PEACHES WITH BRILLAT?
This recipe delivers all the sugar and luscious dairy fat one could want. An acidic, dry white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio can pair well. Or try a robust red Nebbiolo for a nice pairing. Futhermore this dish can do double duty as both an appetizer or a dessert. (written by Chef Stef)
