Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, sliced into thick wedges

4 slices of bread (preferably sourdough or whole grain for added texture)

4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp balsamic glaze (optional, for an added depth of flavor)

2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Pinch of salt to enhance sweetness

Pinch of black pepper for a hint of spice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While it's heating, slice the peaches into thick wedges and sprinkle them lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance their natural sweetness.

    Grill the Peaches: Once the grill is hot, place the peach slices directly on it. Grill for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until they have beautifully charred grill marks and have softened slightly. After grilling, remove the peaches and drizzle them with honey and balsamic glaze (if using). Set them aside to let the flavors meld.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Take each slice of bread and spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side. On the unbuttered side, layer slices of fresh mozzarella, followed by the grilled peach wedges, and top with a few fresh basil leaves to add a burst of freshness. Close the sandwich with another slice of bread, ensuring the buttered sides face outward.

        Grill the Sandwich: Carefully place each assembled sandwich on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the mozzarella cheese has melted into gooey perfection.

          Serve: Remove the grilled sandwiches from the grill and allow them to cool for about a minute. Slice them in half to reveal the luscious layers inside and serve warm. Enjoy the exquisite blend of sweet and savory flavors in your Grilled Peach Sandwich Melt!
