Ingredients

  • 3-4 nectarines
  • 5-6 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • balsamic glaze (Garnish)
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • salt (pinch)
  • ⅛-¼ tsp cinnamon
  • freshly ground black pepper (as needed)
  • 6 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • basil leaves (Garnish)
  • crusty bread or crackers

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400º F.
  • Cut the nectarines into bite-sized pieces and arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl or jar, mix one tablespoon each of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and ⅛-¼ tsp of cinnamon, along with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle this over the nectarines and pop them in the oven for 15 minutes until they're beautifully softened and caramelized. After roasting, give those delicious bite-size nectarines 10 minutes to cool.
  • While the nectarines are cooling, make the whipped feta. Combine the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, zesty lemon juice, and rich olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, blend everything until smooth and creamy. Add more olive oil to achieve perfect taste and texture, if desired!
  • Assemble the dish by spreading the whipped feta onto a serving platter or individual plates. Place the roasted nectarines over the whipped feta. If desired, drizzle with lemon juice,m olive oil, balsamic glaze, or honey. Garnish with basil leaves, a dash of cinnamon, and freshly ground pepper. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers!

Notes

    • You can buy balsamic glaze at the grocery store
    • You can make your own balsamic glaze here 👉 Homemade Balsamic Glaze
    • Try using roasted peaches, strawberries, or pears.
    • Combine ingredients in a food processor instead of using an electric hand mixer.
    • Garnish with walnuts or pecans.
