A Sweet + Savory Summer Sandwich
This Peach Prosciutto Sandwich is your new go-to when you want something quick, vibrant, and packed with flavor. Juicy summer peaches meet salty prosciutto, creamy cheddar, and fresh basil — all tied together with a zesty Calabrian chilli-vinegar dressing. It’s a high-impact lunch that feels gourmet but takes just minutes to assemble.
Why It Works
The sweet-salty combo is a classic. Peaches bring a juicy sweetness that balances the rich, salty prosciutto and sharp cheddar. Fresh basil adds brightness, and the Calabrian chilli dressing gives a subtle heat and tang that elevates everything.
Perfect for Lunch, Picnics, or Snacks
This sandwich is ideal for a quick weekday lunch, a picnic basket, or even an easy appetizer cut into smaller portions. Because it’s made with everyday ingredients, you can throw it together on the spot — yet it tastes like something you’d order at a café.
Tips for the Best Peach Prosciutto Sandwich
Choose ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape after tossing with the dressing. Toast your bread until it’s golden and slightly crisp to prevent it from getting soggy. If you like extra heat, add an extra spoon of Calabrian chilli paste or a pinch of red pepper flakes. This extra step makes your sandwich feel restaurant-quality with very little extra effort.
Make It Your Own
Swap cheddar for creamy burrata or goat cheese. Try arugula instead of basil. Use nectarines when peaches aren’t in season. The dressing also doubles as a salad vinaigrette, so you can drizzle any leftovers over greens for an easy side salad.
