Sandwich night just got better with this Pesto, Peach, Prosciutto and Mozzarella Grilled Cheese. The flavors are tangy, sweet and savory all layered and toasted together.
I love a good sandwich on an evening where it’s too warm to heat up the kitchen, or I have extraordinary ingredients that would taste delicious all piled on good bread and grilled in a pan. A fresh peach makes a grilled cheese so tasty. It adds just a touch of sweetness and pairs so nicely with prosciutto and creamy pesto. The mozzarella gives this sandwich it stretchability with each and every bite. You’ll be lucky if it doesn’t land on your chin, but that’s half the fun.
It’s a quick fix meal that will remind you of summer and keep bringing you back after peach season is gone. Slice it in half and serve with a crisp glass of white wine.
