Notes

• The equipment section above provides affiliate links to things I use often in my kitchen and love.
• If your peaches aren’t totally ripe/flavorful, you can add a bit of brown sugar or honey before broiling. When peaches are in peak season, no added sweetener is necessary.
• These can be prepped a few hours ahead of time. To do so, complete steps 1-4 and refrigerate. Bring back to room temperature and add balsamic glaze just before serving.
