Peach halloumi sandwich made with broiled peaches, grilled halloumi, hot honey, ricotta, and crushed pistachios in a toasted ciabatta roll.
This sweet and savory sandwich combination is the perfect summer lunch. Peach slices get broiled with a drizzle of honey, olive oil and dried herbs and layered on toasted ciabatta with grilled halloumi cheese, ricotta, arugula, pistachios and balsamic.
I love this simple yet elevated combination for a hearty lunch made with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients you’ll need
This recipe is meant to be a guideline and can be modified based on preferences and amount of servings you want to make. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Yellow peaches– sliced into wedges and tossed in olive oil, honey, flakey salt and dried herbs
- Ciabatta or bread of choice
- Halloumi cheese- ideal for grilling for sandwiches or salads
- Ricotta, for a creamy sandwich base

Halloumi is one of my favorite cheeses to grill for sandwiches, salads or as a snack with some hot honey. I love it on a kale salad with balsamic dressing or with roasted cauliflower and harissa dressing.
- Start by broiling or grilling the peaches until soft with a little olive oil, honey, flakey salt and dried herbs
- Once they’re ready, grill the halloumi on a pan on medium heat until browned
- Assemble the sandwich with a layer of ricotta, cracked black pepper, arugula salad, peaches, halloumi, pistachios, honey, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil
Serve this for an easy lunch or at your next get-together. It’s a fresh and flavorful sandwich that the whole family will love!

Ingredients
- 4-6 ciabatta rolls or bread of choice
- 1 block halloumi cheese 6-8 oz
- 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
- Arugula mixed with lemon juice and olive oil
- 1/4 cup crushed pistachios
- Hot honey or regular
- Balsamic vinegar or glaze
- Fresh basil
Broiled Peaches
- 2 yellow peaches
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- Flakey salt
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning or dried herbs of choice
Directions
- Slice the peaches into 1/2 inch wedges. Place on a sheet pan with drizzle with olive oil, honey, flakey salt and dry herbs. Broil on high for about 10-12 minutes until the peaches soften. Alternatively, you can grill the peaches on a pan for 2-3 minutes per side. Once the peaches are ready, remove from oven and set aside while you prepare the halloumi.
- To fry the halloumi, slice the cheese into 1/2 inch slices. Heat a pan on medium heat with a little oil or cooking spray. Grill the halloumi for about 1-2 minutes on one side, then flip for another minute. I suggest grilling the halloumi right before serving for best texture.
- To assemble the sandwich, toast the ciabatta or bread and spread a layer of ricotta on the bottom slice topped with cracked black pepper.
- Add the marinated arugula on top followed by the broiled peaches, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, crushed pistachios, and the fried halloumi.
- Top the halloumi with a drizzle of honey and a few leaves of fresh basil.
