    Jump to Recipe

    These grilled prosciutto-wrapped peaches are one easy appetizer that just about everyone can agree on. If you've never tried this simple but elegant dish, you're sorely missing out. Sweet, char-grilled peaches wrapped in savory, salty cured meat and drizzled with a simple but delicious balsamic vinaigrette. What's not to love?

    They are the perfect, light, sweet and savory, summer snack. I usually serve of variety of grilled finger foods at my BBQs including these peaches, maybe some grilled pork kebabs and then I'll throw in this grilled bruschetta bread. But sometimes, I'll just munch on these on their own with my family.

    Whether it's a party, a small gathering of friends, or just to eat by yourself on the couch, you really can't go wrong with this recipe. It's perfect for both formal and casual events.

    I make a similar, summer appetizer called melon prosciutto skewers that you might like.

    Grilled Peach Ingredients

    Grilled prosciutto wrapped peaches with balsamic vinaigrette ingredients labeled.
    • peaches - Make sure the peaches are ripe so they taste great but still firm. If they're over-ripe, they will be much too soft and hard to handle. This recipe can work with nectarines and apricots as well but you might need to cut the apricots into less wedges since they're smaller.
    • green leaves - This can be arugula, lamb’s lettuce, baby spinach etc. You can also use green leaf lettuce and cut each leaf into smaller pieces.
    • prosciutto di Parma - Prosciutto di Parma is a type of dry-cured ham that is produced in the Parma region of Italy. It is known for its delicate, sweet flavor and tender texture. You can substitute with regular prosciutto slices.
    • honey - Make sure to use the liquid kind. This is for the balsamic vinaigrette.
    • balsamic vinegar - For best results, use high quality.
    • Dijon mustard - I like whole grain.
    • fine sea salt - Not pictured--for the dressing.
    • extra virgin olive oil - Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is considered better for vinaigrette than regular olive oil for its rich and complex, balanced flavor and purity. It's higher quality because it's made without the use of heat or chemicals.

    *Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.

    Tweaks

    It's so easy to change things up to how you like it, too.

    • You could try a more intense caramelization on the peaches or a different fruit like an apricot.
    • Use a different vinaigrette such as this homemade strawberry vinaigrette.
    • Maybe add a little cheese in there to really complete that meat and cheese board taste.
    • Serve it with this burrata salad.

    At the end of the day, cooking is all about trying new things, so don't be afraid to get a little wild.

    How to Make This Appetizer

    Step #5. Grill the Peaches. Grill the peach wedges (with the grill lid closed) for just one or two minutes per side (until slightly tender and charred).

    Step #6. Layer. Place a green leaf and peach slice on top of one end of a prosciutto slice.

    Chef's Note: Try to leave some of the peach wedge above the prosciutto so that the grilled peach is visible to guests and more aesthetic-looking.

    Step #7. Roll it up. Roll it up and place on a serving dish. Repeat for all of the peach wedges.

    Step #8. Serve. Drizzle the dressing over the prosciutto-wrapped peaches or serve it on the side for your guests. Serve!

    Joss' Tips

    • Soft lettuce = easier to roll. The softer the lettuce, the easier it is to roll up. Stiff lettuce can end up tearing the prosciutto as you're wrapping it around the peach.
    • Be gentle with the meat slices. Prosciutto can be quite delicate and thin so be careful when slicing it. The good thing is, it also sticks well so if it tears a bit, you will still be able to roll it up around the peach wedge with no problem.
    • Make-ahead option. This peach and prosciutto appetizer is best served immediately! However, you can definitely make this appetizer up to a couple of hours in advance if you don't mind serving it chilled. It tastes great with both warm and chilled peaches. The dressing can be made up to two weeks in advance.

    Grilled Peach FAQs

    How do you stop the peaches from sticking to the grill?

    Make sure the grill grates are oiled so that the peaches don't stick. Also, don't add the peaches to the grill until it is preheated. Try not to move the peaches until grill marks form.

    Do you need to peel the peaches?

    No. I keep the peach skin on for this recipe but make sure they are clean. They are easier to handle this way and the skin forms beautiful grill marks.

    How long can you store the leftovers?

    Leftovers need to be covered well and can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day. The vinaigrette can be covered and stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before serving.

      I'm thinking of making these for my nephew's 21st birthday Sunday, in the middle of winter. Also looking for a vegan peach recipe. I love cooking.
