Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a grill pan, place it over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until very hot.
- Pat the halloumi slices completely dry with paper towels. Brush both the cut sides of the peaches and both sides of the halloumi with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place the halloumi slices on the hot grill. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until golden grill marks form and the cheese releases easily. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes until caramelized and grill marks appear. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until slightly softened but still holding their shape.
- Arrange the baby arugula on a large serving platter or divide among 4 plates. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Slice the grilled halloumi into strips or leave as slabs.
- Arrange the grilled peach halves and halloumi over the arugula. Scatter the torn basil and toasted pine nuts over the top.
- Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately while the peaches and halloumi are still warm.
Notes
• Choose peaches that are ripe but still slightly firm—overripe peaches will fall apart on the grill.
• No grill? Use a cast-iron grill pan or even a regular skillet. You won't get grill marks, but the caramelization will still be delicious.
• Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, shaking frequently, until golden and fragrant.
