Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Nectarines with Goat Cheese Mousse.
Step 1
To create a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon and creamy cheeses, start by pouring the Cabernet Sauvignon and granulated sugar into a saucepan.
Step 2
Heat this mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently.
Step 3
Keep an eye on it as it reduces to about half a cup, concentrating those delicious flavors.
Step 4
Once it’s thickened, take it off the heat and let the syrup cool down to room temperature.
Step 5
Next, let’s whip up a luscious goat cheese mousse.
Step 6
In a blender, combine the creamy goat cheese, tangy Gorgonzola, and a splash of milk.
Step 7
Blend until the mixture is smooth and velvety.
Step 8
If it’s a bit too thick for your liking, don’t hesitate to add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach that perfect creamy consistency.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to prepare the nectarines.
Step 10
Slice them in half lengthwise and gently remove the pits, taking care not to damage the fruit.
Step 11
To enhance their flavor, brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
Step 12
Preheat your grill and place the nectarines cut-side down.
Step 13
Grill them for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until you see those beautiful grill marks and the nectarines have softened just a bit.
Step 14
Once the nectarines are done grilling, let them cool for a moment.
Step 15
Then, take a generous spoonful of your goat cheese mousse and fill the center of each half.
Step 16
For the finishing touch, drizzle the cooled Cabernet syrup over the top, adding a sweet and tangy contrast to the creamy cheese.
Step 17
Serve these delightful grilled nectarines as a stunning appetizer or a unique dessert that’s sure to impress your guests! Enjoy every bite of this delicious creation!.
