Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, sliced into thin wedges

4 oz brie cheese, sliced

4 slices of crusty bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Pinch of sea salt

Honey, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Caramelize the Peaches:

    In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches, followed by the brown sugar and vanilla extract. Cook, stirring gently, for about 4-5 minutes or until the peaches soften and develop a golden caramelized color. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, stirring occasionally. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and allow the peaches to cool slightly.

      Prepare the Bread:

        Take the slices of bread and spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice. Ensure the butter is spread thickly for a great crust.

          Assemble the Sandwiches:

            On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, evenly layer the slices of brie cheese. Spoon the warm, caramelized peaches on top of the cheese, and if desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for added flavor. For an aromatic touch, add a few fresh basil leaves. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, ensuring the buttered sides face outward.

              Grill the Sandwiches:

                Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Gently place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is beautifully golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the brie cheese has melted and the bread is toasted to perfection.

                  Serve:

                    Once grilled, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for about a minute to allow the cheese to set slightly. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and drizzle with honey if desired for a touch of sweetness. Serve warm and savor the delightful combination of caramelized peaches and creamy brie!
