Fire up your grill!

I use my grill almost every single day during this time of the year. In fact, I think almost everything tastes better grilled in the summer. I grill everything from salads to desserts. In the past week, I grilled pizzas, watermelon, romaine lettuce for Caesar salads, bread and skillet berry cobbler. Today, I am giving you another excuse to turn on your grill, enjoy the outdoors and eat a delectable little snack, appetizer or lunch. Grilled Peach Crostini with Arugula, Prosciutto and Goat Cheese combines a few simple ingredients to create something easy and impressive. It is a great option for dinner parties and entertaining.

I love fresh seasonal peaches. During the summer I love to grill them. Grilled peaches are perfect for dessert, tossed with a salad or even layered over a slice of grilled bread with a few extra ingredients. Because I always have arugula in my fridge, I layer it over the goat cheese before topping with prosciutto and grilled peaches. The flavors work really well together with the sweet peaches complementing the salty prosciutto and flavorful goat cheese. Don’t forget the balsamic reduction that adds even more flavor.

You can even use the same exact ingredients and make yourself grilled pizzas on naan bread for something a little more filling.
