    Notes:
    This is such a wonderful way to use peaches. The sweet flesh goes well with the full flavor of the Gorgonzola cheese.

    Ingredients:
    6 ripe, organic peaches, halved, stones removed
    Extra-virgin olive oil
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    6 slices sourdough or other rustic bread
    1 clove garlic
    Handful of chopped fresh parsley
    Handful of chopped fresh mint
    Red wine vinegar
    8 ounces Gorgonzola cheese

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. In a large bowl, toss peach halves with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place peaches, flesh side down, on grill for about 2–3 minutes (you are looking to get a good char). Turn and cook the other side, another 2–3 minutes. Remove peaches from grill and set aside in a bowl to catch any juices.

    2.
    Grill bread slices, toasting each side. Don’t worry if some parts burn a bit; the flavor gives a great contrast to the overall dish. When grilled, rub slices with garlic. Place 2 peach halves on each bread slice.

    3. Combine reserved peach juices with chopped parsley, mint, and a little red wine vinegar. Crumble gorgonzola cheese over peaches and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and peach-juice mixture.
