# What You Need:
→ Plums
01 - 4 ripe but firm plums, halved and pitted
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
→ Cheese & Garnish
03 - 3.5 ounces fresh goat cheese, softened
04 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or basil
05 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Balsamic Glaze
06 - 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
07 - 1 tablespoon honey
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
02 - Brush the cut sides of the plum halves with olive oil.
03 - Place the plums cut side down on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly. Flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 - In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
05 - Arrange grilled plums on a platter, cut side up. Spoon or pipe a dollop of goat cheese onto each half.
06 - Drizzle with the balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with fresh mint or basil and a touch of black pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
