Description
A sweet and savory grilled sandwich featuring juicy peaches, creamy ricotta, sharp white cheddar, and golden buttery sourdough. This easy, gourmet-style sandwich is perfect for a quick lunch or weekend treat.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced (about 1½ cups)
- 4 slices sourdough bread (about 1/2 inch thick)
- 4 tablespoons whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 slices white cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces total)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- Optional: 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Wash, dry, and thinly slice the peaches (about 1/4 inch thick). Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Lay sourdough slices on a clean surface and spread 1 tablespoon ricotta evenly over one side of each slice.
- On two slices, layer peach slices over the ricotta and drizzle each sandwich with 1/2 tablespoon honey. On the remaining slices, place 2 slices of white cheddar over the ricotta.
- Press the peach-topped slices together with the cheddar-topped slices, keeping ricotta sides facing inward.
- Spread softened butter evenly over the outside of each sandwich.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sandwiches 4–5 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
- If desired, carefully open and add fresh basil or drizzle balsamic glaze before serving. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture.
- Cook over medium-low heat to prevent burning before cheese melts.
- Pat peaches dry to avoid soggy bread.
- Brie or mozzarella can substitute for white cheddar.
- Best enjoyed fresh for optimal crispness.
