Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 slices artisan sourdough bread
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 ripe peach, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp butter
Ingredient Notes
- Bread: Sourdough is sturdy and flavorful, but you can use rustic Italian, whole wheat, or brioche for a sweeter edge.
- Cheese: White cheddar is tangy and rich. Try goat cheese or brie for a creamier variation.
- Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches work best. In a pinch, drained canned peaches can do the job.
- Honey: Use local or floral honey for added dimension.
How to Make It
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat the Skillet
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. - Assemble the Sandwiches
Lay out your bread slices. On two of them, layer grated white cheddar and thinly sliced peaches. Drizzle honeyover the peach slices, then top with the remaining bread. - Butter the Bread
Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich slice. - Grill
Place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted. - Slice & Serve
Let the sandwiches cool slightly, then slice in half. Serve warm and gooey.
Tips for Success
- Don’t Rush the Heat: Medium heat is perfect for a crispy crust without burning.
- Use Room Temp Butter for easy spreading and even browning.
- Grate Your Own Cheese: It melts smoother than pre-shredded varieties.
- Make it Fancy: Add fresh basil or arugula before grilling for a herby twist.

- Freezing: Not recommended due to the fresh peach and cheese texture.
