Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 4 slices sourdough or rustic bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
Fillings
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 large ripe peach, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread thoroughly. On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread a thin layer of cream cheese if using, then drizzle each with honey evenly to add a sweet base flavor.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the sharp white cheddar cheese evenly over the honey, then place the thinly sliced peach on top. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors if desired. Place the remaining bread slices on top with the buttered side facing outward.
- Cook the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing down slightly with a spatula to ensure the cheese melts evenly and the sandwich adheres well. Continue until the bread is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese from the pan. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes before slicing. Serve warm to enjoy the melty, sweet, and savory combination.
Notes
- Add a few fresh basil leaves or a touch of balsamic glaze for a savory and aromatic twist.
- Pairs perfectly with tomato soup or a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
