- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
Cheese and Fruit
- 8 slices of white cheddar cheese
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons honey
Herbs and Seasoning
- Fresh basil leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for grilling the sandwiches evenly.
- Butter bread: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when cooked.
- Assemble base slices: Place 4 slices of bread on the skillet, butter side down, forming the base of each sandwich.
- Layer fillings: On each base slice, layer 2 slices of white cheddar cheese, an even amount of thin peach slices, a drizzle of honey, and fresh basil leaves for flavor.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the fillings to taste, enhancing the sweet and savory contrast.
- Top sandwiches: Cover with the remaining slices of bread, butter side up, to complete the sandwiches.
- Cook sandwiches: Grill the sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping carefully to avoid spillage.
- Serve: Slice the grilled cheese sandwiches and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty, flavorful combination.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent the sandwich from becoming too soggy.
- Adjust the amount of honey to balance sweetness to your preference.
- For a crispier sandwich, press down gently with a spatula while cooking.
- Fresh basil adds a fragrant touch; substitute with mint or arugula for different flavor profiles.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
