Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

4 slices of hearty sourdough bread

4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

4 oz creamy goat cheese, softened to room temperature

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Pinch of salt

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches:

    - Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat.

      - Place the peach slices directly onto the grill. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until you see nice grill marks and the peaches are slightly softened and caramelized. Remove from the grill and set aside.

        Make the Cheese Spread:

          - In a small mixing bowl, blend the softened goat cheese with the honey using a fork until the mixture is creamy and well combined. This sweet spread will enhance the sandwich's flavor profile.

            Assemble the Sandwich:

              - Take two slices of sourdough bread and spread a generous layer of the honey-goat cheese mixture on one side of each.

                - On top of the cheese, layer the slices of fresh mozzarella evenly.

                  - Place the grilled peach slices atop the mozzarella, then sprinkle with chopped basil, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper for added flavor.

                    - Top with the remaining slices of sourdough, cheese side facing inward, to create a delightful sandwich.

                      Grill the Sandwich:

                        - Heat a clean grill pan or skillet over medium-low heat.

                          - Spread softened butter evenly on the outer sides of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden, crispy crust.

                            - Carefully place the sandwiches onto the grill or in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is a lovely golden brown and the cheese has melted beautifully.

                              Add Finishing Touches:

                                - Once perfectly grilled, take the sandwiches off the heat. Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the tops for a tangy contrast. Then, gently slice the sandwiches in half to reveal the warm, melty filling.

                                  Serve and Enjoy:

                                    - Serve these delightful grilled peach sandwich melts hot, accompanied by a side of mixed greens or a light, refreshing salad for a complete meal. Relish the delicious interplay of sweet and savory flavors!
