Crispy Blueberry Grilled Cheese That Will Wow Your Taste Buds
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices Sourdough or Whole Wheat Bread
- 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
- 1/4 cup White Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Thyme
- 2 ounces White Cheddar Cheese
- 2 ounces Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
- Make Blueberry Compote: In a medium saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, white sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until thick and jam-like. Allow it to cool completely before using.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread an even layer of the cooled blueberry compote on slices of your chosen bread. Add layers of white cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then top with the remaining bread slices to create your sandwiches.
- Grill Sandwiches: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches in the pan, cover, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side until both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Cut your sandwiches in half, and if desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and fresh thyme for an extra pop of flavor.
