Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices of bread sourdough, brioche, or Texas toast recommended
  • 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 ripe peach, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter, salted or unsalted
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Optional: Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Small bowl
  • Paper towels
  • Spatula
  • Skillet or Pan
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Wash and thinly slice the peach. Gently pat dry with a paper towel if very juicy.
  2. In a small bowl, drizzle the sliced peaches with honey and toss gently to coat.
  3. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
  4. Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a cold skillet.
  5. Pile on a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Arrange the honey-glazed peach slices over the cheese.
  7. Top with another layer of cheddar cheese.
  8. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.
  9. Turn the heat to medium-low.
  10. Grill the sandwich for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Use a spatula to gently press down on the sandwich to ensure even cooking.
  11. Remove from the skillet and place on a cutting board.
  12. Let it cool for a minute or two before slicing it in half.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm peaches. If peaches are out of season, use canned peaches in syrup, but drain them well and pat them dry before using. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick, or fresh basil leaves for a refreshing contrast. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and reheated in a skillet, toaster oven, or air fryer.
