Sweet, cinnamon kissed peaches baked to tender perfection bubble under a blanket of cheese-laced biscuits. The duo of the sweetness of the ripe peaches and the slight tanginess of soft, creamy jalapeño Havarti is divine.
By Kate Donahue
I love goat cheese and that my sweet tooth rules my life. You know I love all things balsamic, sweet and savory. You know I love fruit and cheese together in unexpected places AND you know that I’m a big fan of desserts that pack some sweet heat. I love trying to get creative with my flavor combinations so this Jalapeño Havarti Peach Cobbler should come as no surprise. This is a bold flavor creation and you are going to love it!
Stay with me here. I promise it’s ah-mazing!! I’m so ready to bid Old Man Winter a fond farewell and bring on the freshness of spring and the warmth of summer. So I channeled those warm thoughts into this beautiful spin on classic peach cobbler thanks to some peaches I had flash frozen at the end of summer. Sweet, cinnamon kissed peaches baked to tender perfection bubble under a blanket of golden, cheese-laced biscuits. Yes, cheese in the cobbler topping and it’s divine. The sweetness of the ripe peaches and the slight tanginess of soft, creamy Castello Havarti Jalapeño.
No need to do a double take. You read that right. Ever have jalapeño peach jam? That’s what I’m talking about when I say “sweet heat.” I channeled that wonderful flavor profile when I created this peach cobbler recipe. The soft, semi-firm havarti was perfect for melding into the cobbler topping and the gentle heat of the jalapeños in the cheese didn’t overpower the other flavors making a perfectly balanced dessert. Sweet peaches with the flavor of jalapeño chili and mild, buttery havarti make this recipe a real winner. Sweet with a touch of savory and just a bit of warmth that lingers on your tongue. It’s truly something special that takes classic peach cobbler to a delicious new level.
