Description
A delicious twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, with mozzarella cheese, sharp white cheddar, and fresh blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (or blueberry jam)
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or fresh thyme for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prep the Bread and Butter: Start by spreading softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will help you get that golden, crispy crust everyone craves in a grilled cheese. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon or thyme into the butter for a flavor boost.
- Layer the Cheese and Blueberries: Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a plate or cutting board. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by fresh blueberries or a generous smear of blueberry jam. Top with shredded sharp white cheddar for that extra depth of flavor. Add the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, to close the sandwiches.
- Grill to Perfection: Heat a skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and grill for about 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If the bread is browning too fast, lower the heat to ensure the cheese has time to fully melt.
- Rest, Slice, and Serve: Let the sandwiches rest for a minute before slicing—this helps the cheese settle slightly so it doesn’t all spill out. Then slice in half and serve while hot and crispy.
Notes
- This grilled cheese sandwich is perfect for a unique brunch or a comforting lunch.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of blueberries or jam according to your taste.
