How to Make Vanilla Spice Rubbed Grilled Peaches With Fresh Goat Cheese

  1. Prepare your grill for medium-direct heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean seeds (from 1 bean), 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix well to create the spice rub.
  3. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits.
  4. Lightly brush the cut sides of the peaches with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  5. Generously sprinkle the spice rub onto both cut sides of the peaches.
  6. Place the peaches cut-side down on the preheated grill.
  7. Grill for 3 minutes, until the peaches begin to soften and grill marks appear.
  8. Turn the peaches cut-side up.
  9. Grill for another 2 minutes, until the sugar is caramelized and golden.
  10. Turn the peaches cut-side up again.
  11. Place 1 tablespoon of fresh goat cheese onto the center of each peach half.
  12. Grill for 1 minute, or until the goat cheese is warmed and slightly melted.
  13. Carefully remove the peaches from the grill and transfer to a platter.
  14. Sprinkle with a little extra spice rub, if desired.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
