Gorgeous Prosciutto-Wrapped Grilled Peach Skewers

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Then, cut each peach into 8 slices, discarding the pit. (See the blog post for a tutorial on how to slice peaches.)

Transfer the peach slices to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil and gently toss until the peaches are well-coated in oil. Alternatively, you can use a pastry brush to coat all sides of the peaches in oil.

Grease the grill very well with neutral oil or cooking spray. Using tongs, place the peach slices on the grill in a single layer. Grill the peaches over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, just until they're slightly softened and charred, but still hold their shape. Transfer the peaches to a platter and let them cool slightly.

Meanwhile, cut the prosciutto into thirds lengthwise, so you have 24 long strips. On a clean surface, wrap each grilled peach slice in a strip of prosciutto, securing the strip of prosciutto at the bottom of the peach.

Toss the drained mozzarella balls with the pesto sauce until the mozzarella is evenly coated. Thread one mozzarella ball on each skewer, followed by a basil leaf, if using.

Lastly, thread one prosciutto-wrapped peach on each skewer. Stand them upright on a platter and garnish with black pepper to taste. Enjoy right away!
