Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread (sourdough, brioche, or favorite loaf)
- 2 tbsp butter or mayonnaise (for toasting)
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp lemon zest (optional)
- 2 oz creamy cheese (brie, goat cheese, or cream cheese)
- ½ cup shredded melty cheese (mozzarella, fontina, or similar)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, simmer blueberries with honey or maple syrup and lemon zest (if using) over medium heat until soft and jammy (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Spread butter or mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
- On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread creamy cheese.
- Top with shredded melty cheese and spoon blueberry mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Close with remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
- Heat a skillet over medium. Grill sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use blueberry jam as a shortcut if you’re out of fresh berries.
- For added depth, use smoked gouda or sharp cheddar instead of mozzarella.
- Add fresh basil or arugula for a savory twist.
- For dessert-style, use mascarpone and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Best served fresh. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
