Brie cheese: A double or triple cream brie works best for this recipe, as it melts smoothly and has a rich, creamy texture. Alternatively, any other creamy cheese, or cheddar would work well here too.
Peaches: Choose ripe sweet peaches. They should be firm but give slightly when pressed.
Bread: I like using a rustic, crusty bread such as a sourdough or a country loaf.
Prosciutto: I purposely didn't include the slices of prosciutto in the grilled cheese sandwich because I like the contrast in texture. Plus, the added height from each slice creates an elegant and visually appealing appetizer.
Balsamic Glaze: You can find balsamic glaze in most grocery stores, but if you can't, you can make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar until it's thick and syrupy. Alternatively you can also replace this with a drizzle of honey or hot honey.

How to Make These Flavorful Bites

Cook the Peach Brie Grilled Cheese: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, add the butter and lay 2 slices of bread. Lay the brie and peach slices on one slice, then cover the sandwich with the other slice. Press the sandwich with a spatula and let it cook 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and repeat process to make another sandwich.

2. Cut into Bites: Cut each sandwich into 2-inch squares to create perfect bite-sized pieces.

3. Assemble the Bites: Gently place half of a prosciutto slice on each piece, then top with some fresh basil. This is optional, but you can use a toothpick or a small skewer to secure them. Right before serving, drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze over the top of each bite. Serve immediately.

Serving Tip

It's best when served immediately when it's still warm so that you can still get that melty brie. But still delicious at room temperature! I also doubt you'll need to store this for leftovers, because you won't have any!
