Today, we’ve got 10 easy peach recipes for you, and man are they good. One can never have too many peach recipes, right? Summer’s favorite fruit shape shifts so beautifully from one recipe to the next, dancing from cocktails and desserts to savory main courses and intriguing salads like its no big thing.

10 Easy Peach Recipes That Will Show Off Summer’s Favorite Fruit
A Dreamy Peach and Burrata Salad with Spicy Pepperoni (Peaches and Cream Salad)
The perfect late summer recipe, this Peaches & Cream Salad with Spicy Pepperoni combines juicy sweet peaches, creamy burrata, and some quick-crisped spicy pepperoni, making what has quickly become one of the most requested dishes to come out of MKL. Â
A Wonderful Southern Peach and Cucumber Salad (with Creamy Poppyseed Dressing and Fried Bread)
Peaches and poppyseed dressing are longtime pals, but here, we’ll add some crunchy, refreshing slices of cucumber and bits of toasty, slightly salty fried bread (crouton-ish bites of goodness). A shower of punchy cracked black pepper and some flaky sea salt are all you need to set it off. Minimal ingredients, super fast prep time – this is the perfect salad to set out during these last, lazy-hazy late summer weeks …Â
New! Roasted Peach and Shishito Salad (with Summer Sausage and Granola)
This recipe is meant to be flexed – use swaps if you want to (plums instead of peaches, crispy pepperoni or bacon instead of summer sausage, etc.). You’ll have some granola left over, but this is never a bad thing.Â
Beachy Peach Pie
A tropical riff on Bill Smith’s famed Atlantic Beach Pie, this version has a coconut and lime twist, with the added sweetness of vanilla. The salty-sweet cracker crumb crust takes it over the top.Â
Double Blueberry Crunch Waffles with Peach Brown Butter
The most incredible waffle recipe. These make the perfect bed for summertime berries and peaches.Â
New! Cold and Refreshing Peach Gazpacho (with sweet corn)
A sweetly refreshing version of Spanish gazpacho that, while still being tomato and red pepper-inclusive, also welcomes some additional summer produce into the mix. Sweet peaches and fresh corn kernels lend their flavors to this chilled summery soup that is the perfect make-ahead entertaining dish. I highly recommend serving alongside my Watermelon and Candied Bacon Caprese Salad. Need another fun use for the corn flakes? Try these Whipped Cornbread Cookies with Salty Cornflake Crunch.
Summer’s Favorite BLT (candied bacon BLT with peach and basil mayo)
A beautifully sweet and savory spin on the classic BLT, this version harnesses the sun-drenched goodness of some of summer’s greatest garden-grown produce. Heirloom tomatoes, fresh peaches and basil combine in the most delicious way in these easy breezy sandwiches.Â
A Perfect Peachy Potsticker and Tomato Skillet
A quick and fun way to serve store-bought frozen potstickers, this skillet saute’ is packed with great flavor and textures, and honors the forever perfect combo of pork and fruit.
Beautiful Southern Honey Pickled Peaches (and 10 ways to serve them)
With their perfect blend of sweet and tart flavors, these Honey Pickled Peaches are a dream. They are just as lovely on vanilla ice cream as they are piled up on a Southern style meat and three plate. Also? They’re great on grilled cheese sandwiches (with crispy prosciutto!), any manner of salad, and even burgers.
New! Refreshing and Juicy Peach Paloma Recipe
The peach nectar (which replaces the traditional grapefruit juice) is sweet enough that I find you don’t need any simple syrup in this drink. Lots of punchy, fresh lime juice perfectly complements the sweet peach, especially when enjoyed with a salty rim. I use grapefruit soda to finish, but regular is just fine. This makes one drink and is easily multiplied.
