Ingredients You Will Need

Makes: 3 sandwiches Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 7 minutes Total Time: 12 minutes Difficulty: Easy

• Rumiano Organic Mozzarella: The melty foundation of this sandwich. Sliced from the bar, it goes golden and bubbly under the broiler in just a few minutes.
• Rustic sourdough or ciabatta loaf, sliced: A sturdy bread that can hold up to melted cheese, grilled chicken, and juicy peaches without falling apart.
• 2 ripe but firm yellow peaches, sliced into thin circles: Look for peaches with a little give but not overly soft—they'll hold their shape on the grill.
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil: Brushed onto the peaches before grilling to help them caramelize.
• 1/3 cup Rumiano Organic Sea Salted Butter, melted: The base for the garlic-herb butter that finishes the top bread slice.
• 1 lb grilled chicken breasts or tenderloins: Adds protein and a smoky, savory element to balance the sweetness of the peaches.
• 3/4 tsp garlic powder: Stirred into the melted butter for a savory, aromatic finish.
• Pinch of salt, to taste: Enhances every other flavor in the sandwich.
• 1/2 tsp Mediterranean herb blend: Rounds out the garlic butter with warm, herby notes.
• 10–15 fresh basil leaves: Adds a fresh, slightly peppery contrast to the sweet peaches and rich cheese.
• 1 tsp raw honey: A light drizzle ties the sweet and savory elements of the sandwich together.
• Freshly cracked black pepper: For a little bite at the end.

 

How to Make Your New Favorite Sandwich

Step 1: Mix the Garlic-Herb Butter

Preheat your oven to broil. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted Rumiano Organic Sea Salted Butter, garlic powder, and Mediterranean herb blend. Then set aside, you'll use this to finish the top slice of bread later.

Step 2: Melt the Mozzarella

Slice the Rumiano Organic Mozzarella and layer it onto the bottom half of your sliced bread. Place the bread under the broiler for about 3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble. Keep an eye on it—broilers work fast.

Step 3: Grill the Peaches

While the bread is under the broiler, lay the sliced peaches on a grill or in a skillet over medium heat. Brush them with the olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until tender and lightly caramelized.

Step 4: Build the Sandwich

On top of the melted mozzarella, layer the grilled chicken, grilled peaches, and a few basil leaves. Drizzle with raw honey and finish with a few cracks of black pepper.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Brush both sides of the top bread slice with the garlic-herb butter, then close the sandwich. Serve right away while the cheese is still warm and melty.

 

 

Tips For the Best Sandwich Every Time

• Choose the Right Peach: A peach that's too soft will turn mushy on the grill. Look for one that gives slightly to gentle pressure but still holds its shape when sliced.
• Don't Walk Away from the Broiler: Cheese can go from melted to overdone in seconds under high heat. Stay close and pull the bread the moment it's bubbling.
• Slice the Mozzarella Thin: Thinner slices melt faster and more evenly, so every bite gets that gooey texture without overwhelming the other ingredients.
• Make It Ahead: The garlic-herb butter can be mixed up to a day in advance and stored in the fridge—just bring it to room temperature before brushing it on.

 

The Rumiano Difference: Cheese and Butter Made Right

A sandwich like this hinges on quality dairy, which is why we built it around Rumiano Organic Mozzarella and Rumiano Organic Sea Salted Butter.

Our Mozzarella is made from organic milk sourced from cows with year-round access to pasture along California's Redwood Coast. That natural diet shows up in the cheese itself—a smooth, buttery mozzarella that melts evenly and brings real flavor to every bite. The butter follows the same philosophy: just two ingredients, organic cream and sea salt, with nothing extra getting in the way.

Both products are USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and American Humane Certified, so the dairy in this sandwich checks every box without you having to think twice about it.

 

The Perfect Summer Sandwich

Whether you're putting together a quick weekday lunch or building a spread for a backyard gathering, this grilled peach, chicken & Mozzarella sandwich delivers big flavor for very little effort. Oh-so-sweet, savory, and melty.

Grab a Rumiano Organic Mozzarella Bar, pick out a couple of ripe peaches, and put this one into your summer rotation. STAT.
