Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, sliced into thick wedges

4 slices of bread (preferably sourdough or whole grain for best flavor)

4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon balsamic glaze (optional, but recommended for an extra flavor boost)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened for easy spreading

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Pinch of salt

Pinch of black pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, slice the ripe peaches into thick wedges. Lightly sprinkle the peach slices with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance their natural sweetness.

    Grill the Peaches: Once the grill is hot, place the peach wedges directly on the grill. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they have beautiful grill marks and their texture softens slightly. After grilling, remove the peaches from the heat and drizzle them with honey and balsamic glaze (if using) for added sweetness and tang. Set the grilled peaches aside.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Take your slices of bread and spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice (this will create a golden, crispy crust). On the opposite side of each slice, layer fresh mozzarella, grilled peach wedges, and a few fresh basil leaves. Close the sandwich with another slice of bread, ensuring the buttered sides are facing out.

        Grill the Sandwich: Carefully place the assembled sandwiches onto the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Gently press down on the sandwiches with a spatula to help achieve an even golden color and ensure the cheese melts beautifully.

          Serve: Once the sandwiches are golden brown and the cheese is gooey, remove them from the grill. Allow them to cool for about a minute, then slice them in half diagonally for appealing presentation. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors in your grilled peach sandwich melt!
