Let’s Make it Together
Prep Your Ingredients: Start by slicing your peaches thinly and grating your white cheddar cheese. Prepare everything so you’re ready to assemble quickly.
Assemble Your Sandwich: Take two slices of sourdough bread and layer one side with grated white cheddar cheese followed by peach slices. Drizzle some honey over the peaches before topping with another slice of bread.
