Sweet peaches and white cheddar pair with honey and ricotta for a luscious, golden sandwich melt.
# Ingredients Required:
→ Sandwich assembly
01 -
2 peaches, peeled and sliced
02 -
4 slices sourdough bread
03 -
2 to 4 tablespoons ricotta cheese
04 -
1 tablespoon honey
05 -
4 slices white cheddar cheese
06 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
→ Optional additions
07 -
4 slices crispy bacon
08 -
Fresh basil leaves
09 -
Balsamic glaze
# Detailed Directions:
01 -
Peel peaches and slice them thinly. Set aside until ready to assemble.
02 -
Spread ricotta cheese evenly on one side of each bread slice. Arrange sliced peaches over half the bread, drizzle with honey, and layer white cheddar cheese on the remaining bread slices.
03 -
Coat the outer sides of each bread slice with unsalted butter for even browning.
04 -
Preheat a panini press or large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the pan. Cook gently until the bread is golden and cheese is completely melted, lowering the heat if the bread colors too quickly.
05 -
If desired, briefly lift the top bread slice and add crispy bacon, fresh basil leaves, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the melted cheese. Cover with bread.
06 -
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately while hot for optimal taste and texture.
# Helpful Advice:
01 -
To achieve a crisp texture, ensure an even layer of butter and grill slowly to allow cheese to melt thoroughly while preventing the bread from burning.
