A simple appetizer or dessert blending sweet fruit, tangy blue cheese, and sharp fresh pepper. I used in-season peaches rather than nectarines, and cooked these inside in the broiler. I think they're best with just a touch of honey, not a dousing, or perhaps would be good with sprinkle of raw sugar instead. I had trouble turning one of them, so just let it cook cut side down the whole time, which turned out fine.

Very nice recipe, I didn't have any honey so I used maple syrup instead, they weren't as sweet as I expected, I think next time I'll serve them as a side dish with either pork or chicken.
