Halloumi Peach Party Skewers

Colorful party skewers pair golden halloumi, juicy peaches, folded prosciutto, and basil with a tangy honey-lemon glaze. They are easy to assemble, quick to grill, and ideal for passing around at a summer gathering.

These savory-sweet skewers turn a few bold ingredients into a relaxed party snack. Halloumi holds its shape over high heat, while ripe but firm peaches soften just enough to become fragrant without slipping from the skewers.

Threading the prosciutto in loose folds keeps it tender at the center and lightly crisp at the edges. Fresh basil is added after grilling so its aroma stays bright, and a simple honey-lemon glaze ties the salty cheese, fruit, and cured meat together.

Short skewers are easiest for guests to pick up and eat. If using wooden picks, soaking them first prevents scorching; sturdy rosemary stems or reusable metal appetizer skewers also work well.

Serve the skewers warm or at room temperature on a wide platter. They suit a picnic, drinks party, or summer buffet, and can be assembled a few hours ahead before a quick last-minute grilling.

Directions

1

Soak the wooden skewers in a shallow dish of water for 20 minutes. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high and clean the grates well.
2

Pat the halloumi and peach wedges dry. Whisk the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, Aleppo pepper, and black pepper in a small bowl until glossy.
3

Thread halloumi, peach, and a loose fold of prosciutto onto each skewer, then repeat so every skewer holds two pieces of each main ingredient. Leave a little space between pieces for even browning.
4

Brush the assembled skewers lightly on all sides with half of the honey-lemon mixture. Reserve the remaining mixture for finishing.
5

Grill the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning carefully, until the halloumi is golden with clear grill marks and the peaches are lightly softened.
6

Transfer the skewers to a platter, tuck fresh basil leaves between the warm pieces, and drizzle with the reserved honey-lemon mixture. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Notes

Choose peaches that yield only slightly when pressed so the wedges stay on the skewers.
Assemble up to 4 hours ahead, cover, and refrigerate; brush with glaze just before grilling.
For a meat-free version, omit the prosciutto and add extra halloumi and peach pieces.
