Ingredients:

2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, brioche, or a rustic country loaf work best)
2 oz brie cheese, sliced
1 ripe peach, sliced thinly
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Fresh basil or thyme (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the peach thinly and remove the pit. Slice the brie cheese into thin pieces.
Butter the Bread: Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. If you prefer a bit of sweetness, you can drizzle a small amount of honey on the buttered side.
Assemble the Sandwich: On the non-buttered side of one slice of bread, layer the brie cheese and peach slices. If you’re using fresh basil or thyme, add a few leaves on top of the peaches for extra flavor.
Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich, buttered side down, in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crispy. Flip the sandwich over and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until the brie is fully melted and the bread is crispy and golden.
Serve: Once the sandwich is done, remove it from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice it in half and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Expert Tips for the Recipe:

Bread Choice: Choose a sturdy bread that can hold up to the soft brie and juicy peaches. Sourdough, brioche, or a rustic country loaf work best.
Peach Variations: If peaches are out of season, you can use nectarines or even plums for a similar sweet and juicy effect.
Add a Kick: For a little heat, add a few thin slices of jalapeño or a sprinkle of chili flakes to the sandwich before grilling.
Make it Vegan: Use a plant-based brie and vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
