1. Can I use canned or frozen peaches?

Fresh is best, but in a pinch, frozen peaches (thawed and patted dry) can work. Canned peaches are too soft and sweet—use only if well-drained and not packed in syrup.

2. What cheese pairs well with grilled peaches?

White cheddar is our go-to for tang and melt, but brie, Havarti, or even goat cheese can work beautifully.

3. Is this sandwich healthy?

While it’s a treat, using whole grain bread, fresh fruit, and moderate cheese makes it a balanced option. Grilling instead of frying also keeps things lighter.

4. Can I make this gluten-free?

Absolutely. Use your favorite gluten-free sandwich bread and make sure the cheese and other ingredients are certified gluten-free.

5. Can I cook this in a toaster oven or panini press?

Yes! A panini press will give you a beautiful crispy finish. A toaster oven works too—just place the sandwich on foil and flip halfway through
