Grilled Peach Toast with Pimiento Cheese
🇺🇸 United States · Southern United States
Ingredients
- 2 firm-ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon blended oil
- 1 medium-size ripe avocado
- 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices multigrain boule-style bread
- Smoky pimiento cheese with bacon (for spreading)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red radishes (about 3 ounces)
- 1 bunch watercress
- 1 teaspoon gray sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Steps
- Preheat a grill to medium-high, about 450°F.
- Brush peach halves with 1 tablespoon blended oil and grill cut side down, uncovered, until grill marks appear and juices release, about 3 minutes. Remove and slice; set aside.
- Halve and pit the avocado, brush cut sides with 1 teaspoon blended oil, and grill cut side down, uncovered, until charred and slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from grill.
- Brush bread slices with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and grill until toasted, about 2 minutes per side.
- Spread pimiento cheese on one side of each toast slice. Cut each slice into 4 equal rectangles, keeping pieces together.
- Scoop avocado from the peel into a bowl and mash with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil until chunky and spreadable. Spread onto the toast and top with sliced peaches.
