When it comes to parfaits, Greek yogurt is the star ingredient that sets this dish apart. Its thick and creamy texture provides a substantial base that holds up well against the juicy grilled peaches. Greek yogurt is known for its high protein content, often containing double the protein compared to regular yogurt. This makes it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their protein intake, especially if the parfait is served as a breakfast option.

Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

1 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup granola (honey or almond-flavored works best)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan to medium heat. Ensure that the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent the peaches from sticking during grilling.

    Prepare the Peach Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and brown sugar if you wish for a sweeter caramelization. Using a brush, generously coat the cut sides of the peach halves with this mixture to enhance their flavor during grilling.

      Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches cut side down on the preheated grill. Grill them for approximately 4-5 minutes, until they are beautifully caramelized and display enticing grill marks. Carefully flip the peaches and grill for an additional 2 minutes. Once done, remove them from the grill and allow them to cool slightly before assembling your parfaits.

        Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a separate mixing bowl, blend the Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spoon to stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the flavors are well combined.

          Assemble the Parfaits: Select clear glasses or jars for serving. To create visually appealing layers, start by placing a spoonful of the creamy yogurt mixture at the bottom of each glass. Next, add a layer of the grilled peach halves, followed by a sprinkle of granola. Repeat these layers until the glasses are filled, ensuring you finish with a generous dollop of yogurt on top for a refined touch.

            Garnish and Serve: For a delightful finishing touch, sprinkle each parfait with a bit more granola and garnish with fresh mint leaves. This not only enhances the presentation but adds a refreshing element to each bite.

              Enjoy: Serve your delectable parfaits immediately and savor the wonderful interplay of flavors—sweetness from the grilled peaches, creaminess from the yogurt, and the crunch of granola creating a perfect summer treat!
