Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough or artisan bread
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 ripe peach, thinly sliced
- 3–4 slices white cheddar cheese
- A pinch of sea salt
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly, ensuring the buttered sides will face out when assembling the sandwich for a golden, crispy finish.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the white cheddar cheese slices first, then add the thinly sliced peach on top. Drizzle with honey over the peaches, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt, and add fresh thyme leaves if desired for an aromatic touch. Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
- Cook the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwich into the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Turn the sandwich over and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt fully and the bread to achieve a perfect crust.
- Serve Warm: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve immediately while warm to enjoy the gooey cheese and sweet peach combination.
Notes
- For added depth of flavor, use smoked white cheddar instead of regular white cheddar.
- Add a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bread before layering the cheese for a tangy kick.
- Swap sourdough for brioche bread to make the sandwich slightly sweeter and richer.
