Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

For the Bread

  • 4 slices Quality Bread (sourdough or whole grain)

For the Compote

  • 2 cups Fresh Blueberries Can substitute with raspberries
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar Substitute with honey or agave for healthier option
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Use fresh juice
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Thyme Can replace with fresh rosemary or omit

For the Cheeses

  • 1 cup White Cheddar Cheese, shredded Medium to sharp varieties work best
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded Whole milk mozzarella is perfect for gooey texture

For Grilling

  • 2 tablespoons Butter Prefer unsalted for better control over seasoning

Instructions

Making the Gourmet Blueberry Grilled Cheese

  • Make the Compote: In a saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, white sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, then let it simmer for about 20 minutes until thickened. Allow it to cool for easy spreading.
  • Prepare the Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the cooled blueberry compote on four slices of quality bread. Top each slice with a mix of shredded white cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then cover with the remaining bread slices.
  • Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Grill the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown and the cheese is perfectly melted. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
  • Finish and Serve: Carefully slice the sandwiches in half. For an extra touch, sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt and a bit of fresh thyme. Serve immediately to enjoy the delicious textures!

Notes

For an optional touch of sweetness, add a drizzle of honey on top before serving.
