These Grilled Peach & Prosciutto Skewers are a flavorful appetizer made with sweet peaches, salty prosciutto, and creamy cheese, all lightly charred for a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and smoky. Ideal for summer parties, elegant grilling menus, and seasonal entertaining.
-
Wrap each peach wedge with a strip of prosciutto.
-
Alternate on skewers: one wrapped peach, one cheese ball, one basil leaf — repeat until the skewer is filled (usually 2 of each per skewer).
-
Brush lightly with olive oil and crack black pepper over top.
-
Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
-
Grill skewers for 1–2 minutes per side until peaches are lightly charred, prosciutto crisps, and cheese softens slightly.
-
Remove carefully and let cool slightly.
-
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with extra basil.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Cheese alternatives: Mozzarella holds up best on the grill. Goat cheese or feta can be used off-heat or added after grilling.
-
No grill? Use a grill pan or even broil for 2–3 minutes for similar caramelization.
-
Make ahead: Assemble up to 4 hours in advance and grill just before serving.
-
Extra twist: Add a sliver of jalapeño or drizzle with hot honey for sweet-heat balance.
