Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough or multigrain bread
- 1 ripe peach, thinly sliced
- 4 slices white cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp honey
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- Butter for grilling
- Cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly. This side will be on the outside to ensure a crispy, golden crust when grilled.
- Assemble Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, layer the white cheddar cheese slices first, then add the thinly sliced ripe peach evenly over the cheese. Add fresh basil leaves if using. Drizzle each with honey for a sweet balance, and sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Close & Prepare for Grilling: Place the remaining bread slices on top of the layered sides, ensuring the buttered side is facing outwards to contact the skillet surface.
- Grill Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing slightly, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted into a gooey consistency.
- Serve: Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and serve warm to enjoy the perfect blend of sweet peaches and savory melted cheddar.
Notes
- This sandwich offers a sweet twist packed with vitamin C from fresh peaches and calcium from white cheddar cheese.
- Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and juiciness.
- Fresh basil is optional but adds a lovely aromatic flavor that complements peaches and cheese.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
