Our recipe for this dish is here.

Adam (interviewed during cooking): "So I'm doing a fried caramelized peach pie. It's like a hand pie. And then with that, I'm doing a spiced vanilla goat cheese, whipped cream, and then candied basil." 

Gordon Ramsay: "Wait, are you doing a dessert or a savory dish?"

Adam: "It's a dessert, but the goat cheese will bring some tang to it."

Joe Bastianich: "That's a pretty kind of Gen Z idea. Your dessert is not necessarily a dessert or a savory dish."

Judges, talking behind the scenes

"Love that. I'm really happy that one of the youngest is doing a dessert." 

"Yeah, and it sounds very elevated."
