Sweet peaches meet golden, salty halloumi in this effortlessly summery recipe. Grilled until beautifully charred, these skewers are the perfect balance of smoky, juicy, and savoury.

STEP 1

Prepare the skewers: Add the peach quarters and halloumi cubes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle over the olive oil and honey, then sprinkle in the dried thyme. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently until everything is well coated.

Two hands with manicured nails hold a halved peach over a wooden cutting board; one half has the pit, the other has a red, juicy center.

STEP 2

Thread the peach and halloumi onto 5 skewers, alternating between the two and dividing them as evenly as possible.

Skewers with grilled cheese cubes and sliced peaches are cooking on a ridged grill pan. The cheese is golden brown, and the peaches are slightly caramelized. The grill pan sits on a wooden surface.

STEP 3

Heat a griddle pan over high heat. Once hot, add the skewers and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, turning as needed, until the halloumi is golden and charred and the peaches are soft, caramelised and beautifully blistered.
Serve immediately while the halloumi is warm and gooey and the peaches are juicy and caramelised.

Two hands hold wooden skewers with alternating slices of white cheese and red apples, placed on a wooden cutting board. The food appears seasoned, and the skewers are neatly arranged side by side.
