Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 Peaches, peeled and sliced
- 4 Slices Sourdough Bread (or Challah, Multigrain, or thick white)
- 4 Slices White Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 4 Slices Crispy Bacon
- Fresh Basil leaves (to taste)
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
Optional
- 2–4 Tablespoons Ricotta Cheese
- Balsamic Glaze (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare Peaches: Peel and slice the peaches into even pieces, then set them aside to use as the fruit layer in the sandwich.
- Assemble Sandwich: Spread ricotta cheese evenly over one side of each slice of bread if using. On one slice, layer the sliced peaches and drizzle with honey. On the other slice, place the white cheddar cheese slices to build the cheesy side.
- Butter and Cook: Spread butter on the outside surfaces of each bread slice. Heat a panini press or a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches butter-side-down and cook until the cheese melts and the bread turns golden brown. If the bread browns too fast, lower the heat to prevent burning.
- Add Optional Ingredients and Serve: If adding crispy bacon, fresh basil, or balsamic glaze, open the sandwich after melting the cheese and add these toppings. Close the sandwich and serve immediately for the best warm and melty experience.
Notes
- Adjust honey quantity according to your preferred sweetness level.
- Ricotta cheese adds a creamy texture but can be omitted if preferred.
- Use thick-cut bread for better stuffing and sturdiness.
- Cooking over medium-low heat ensures the cheese melts fully without burning the bread.
- Adding fresh basil and balsamic glaze introduces a fresh, tangy contrast to the sweet peaches.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon.
