  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C), and clean the grate.

  2. Brush the cut sides of the peach halves lightly with the vegetable oil.

  3. Place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until grill marks form.

  4. Turn the peaches over and grill for 3 to 4 minutes more, until softened.

  5. Brush the warm peach halves with the clover honey.

  6. Let the peaches cool for a few minutes, then top each half with a spoonful of the cream cheese with honey and nuts and serve.
