Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 Peaches, peeled and sliced
Bread & Cheese
- 4 Slices Sourdough Bread (or Challah, Multigrain, or thick white bread)
- 2–4 Tablespoons Ricotta Cheese (optional)
- 4 Slices White Cheddar Cheese (add more if desired)
Other Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 4 Slices Crispy Bacon
- Fresh Basil (to taste)
- Balsamic Glaze (to drizzle)
Instructions
- Prepare Peaches: Peel and slice the peaches, then set them aside to be used in the sandwich assembly.
- Assemble Sandwich: Spread ricotta cheese on one side of each slice of bread. On one slice, layer the sliced peaches and drizzle evenly with honey. On the matching slice, place the white cheddar cheese slices.
- Butter and Cook: Spread butter on the outer side of each bread slice. Heat a panini press or a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the heated device or pan, butter-side down, and cook until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown. If the bread starts browning too quickly, reduce the heat to low to ensure even cooking.
- Add Optional Ingredients and Serve: If using optional ingredients like crispy bacon, basil, and balsamic glaze, remove the top layer of bread, add bacon slices and fresh basil onto the melted cheese, then replace the bread top. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately for best warm flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid the sandwich becoming soggy.
- Ricotta cheese is optional but adds a creamy texture to balance the sharpness of the cheddar.
- Adjust the amount of honey based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Cooking on medium-low heat helps melt the cheese without burning the bread.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and increase the amount of cheese or add grilled vegetables.
- Balsamic glaze can be substituted with a balsamic reduction or a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar.
