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.
