Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit: With a sharp paring knife, slice each peach in half. Twist each half in opposite directions to pull them apart. Use your fingers to remove the pit. If it's stuck, carefully slide the knife under the pit and then pull it away.
4 peaches
Brush the peaches all over with melted butter.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Place the peaches, cut side down, on the grill. Grill them until tender and slightly charred, for about 4 minutes per side.
Serve immediately.

Notes
Sweetness is a personal preference. Use this recipe as a guide and adjust to taste.
If you don't own a grill, you can use a grill pan or a cast-iron skillet.
The best peaches for this recipe are ripe yet firm. Soft, very juicy peaches are best enjoyed raw, since they won't survive the cooking process and will turn mushy. However, you don't want them too firm, or they'll be impossible to halve.
You can keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. They are delicious cold, or you can gently reheat them in the microwave.
