Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 8 slices of sourdough bread
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
Filling
- 8 slices of white cheddar cheese
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons honey
- Fresh basil leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure it is ready for cooking the sandwiches evenly.
- Butter Bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread thoroughly to achieve a crispy, golden exterior when cooked.
- Place Bread on Skillet: Arrange 4 slices of bread, butter side down, on the heated skillet to start assembling the sandwiches.
- Add Layers: Layer each bread slice on the skillet with 2 slices of white cheddar cheese, followed by thinly sliced peaches, a drizzle of honey, and fresh basil leaves for flavor and moisture.
- Season Filling: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the layered ingredients to enhance the overall taste.
- Top Sandwich: Cover each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, butter side up, to seal the fillings inside.
- Cook Sandwiches: Grill until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese melts, approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully to cook both sides evenly.
- Serve: Slice the grilled cheese sandwiches and serve immediately while warm and melty for the best experience.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent the sandwich from becoming too soggy.
- Adjust the amount of honey according to your sweetness preference.
- Fresh basil adds a nice herbal contrast; you can substitute with mint or arugula as an alternative.
- For a crispier sandwich, press lightly with a spatula while cooking.
- Serve with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
