Peach and Bacon Grilled Cheese Sandwich is loaded with fresh summer peaches grilled on the BBQ with crispy maple bacon, and melted cheddar cheese layered between toasted sourdough bread slathered with a homemade spicy habanero aioli and sweet honey mustard. This grilled cheese is like no other, it’s savory, fresh, sweet and spicy all at once. The ultimate summer sandwich. 

You can’t go wrong with a classic grilled cheese. It’s such a staple quick and easy sandwich that’s comforting and fit for kids and adults. But sometimes a sandwich deserves a little more. Another favorite sandwich of ours is a tomato bacon sandwich that’s loaded with mayo, salt and pepper. We practically grew up on these sandwiches so this is where we drew our inspiration from. 

Instead of tomatoes, we swapped them out for peaches and took it one step further by grilling them. We had some leftover habanero aioli from our previous recipe so we decided to try it out in this sandwich and it did not disappoint. It’s a killer combo with a kick of heat so to tone it down a little we added some honey mustard for a touch of sweet. Blown away by how incredibly delicious all of these items put together taste. This is by far our new favorite combination and summer sandwich. 

This sandwich is beyond tasty! If grilled peaches aren’t your thing, that’s okay because they can just be added as they are without hitting the grill. The grilled peaches and the habanero aioli are just a few touches that make this sandwich so unique and beyond a plain grilled cheese. Of course not every recipe is suited for all so we understand.  If you don’t like spicy sauce, regular mayo is totally fine.
