Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 4 slices sourdough or artisan bread
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
Filling
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 ripe peach, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces white cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice, ensuring full coverage for perfect toasting.
- Add honey and layering: On the unbuttered side of two slices, drizzle honey. Then layer white cheddar cheese evenly, followed by thinly sliced peaches. Sprinkle black pepper and fresh thyme leaves if desired for an extra flavor boost.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Top the prepared slices with the remaining bread slices, buttered sides facing out to achieve a golden, crispy crust.
- Cook the sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and cheese has melted thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove from heat, slice the sandwiches in half, and serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a thin layer of Dijon mustard.
- Swap white cheddar with brie or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Use ripe but firm peaches to maintain texture and avoid sogginess.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure bread crisps without burning while cheese melts nicely.
