Grilled Peach Toast with Pimiento Cheese

🇺🇸 United States · Southern United States

Servings: 4 as an appetizer, or 2 as an entrée

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

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high, about 450°F.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Brush bread slices with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and grill until toasted, about 2 minutes per side.
  5. Spread pimiento cheese on one side of each toast slice. Cut each slice into 4 equal rectangles, keeping pieces together.
  6. 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.
  7. Top with radish slices and watercress leaves. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with gray sea salt and black pepper.

Notes

Serve as an appetizer for 4 or as a light entrée for 2.
