Ingredients
½ cup shelled pistachios
6 medium peaches or nectarines, preferably freestone
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup honey, plus more for serving
6 (¼-inch-thick) slices feta (from an 8-ounce slab)
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the broiler. On the stovetop, set a small pan over medium heat. Add the pistachios. Toast nuts until fragrant, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Chop roughly and set aside.
- Step 2
Cut the peaches in half, removing the stones. Place peach halves in a 9-by-13-inch broiler-safe baking dish or skillet cut-side up. Sprinkle each half with a scant tablespoon light brown sugar. Drizzle each peach half with about 1 teaspoon honey.
- Step 3
Place dish under the broiler about 6 inches away from the heat source, and broil until sugar is browned and blackened here and there, and the peaches have softened a bit, about 7 to 10 minutes, turning the dish as necessary. Cool to room temperature.
- Step 4
To serve, place 2 peach halves on a plate. Place a slice of feta on each plate and sprinkle everything with chopped pistachios.
- Step 5
Drizzle with any juices remaining in the pan or a little more honey if desired.

Goes great on grill, as side to anything. Put cut side down first, flip after a few minutes and sprinkle feta on top. Delish. No need for sugar or honey on ripe peaches.
I have replaced feta with burrata
I’m thinking whipped feta.
I have an aversion to the furry peach skin Does the cooking allow the skin to slide off?
@Beverly will probably work just as well with nectarines
can I make this in advance?
Used crumbled feta because that’s what I had—sprinkled on top and broiled for about a minute. SO delicious!!
