Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (such as sourdough or white bread)
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar or mozzarella preferred)
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- Prepare the Bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. This will create a golden, crispy exterior once grilled.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a skillet or griddle. Layer the cheese slices evenly on top, then scatter the fresh blueberries over the cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted completely. Press gently with a spatula to help the sandwich hold together and ensure even grilling.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm to enjoy the perfect blend of melted cheese and juicy blueberries.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best burst of flavor; frozen can add extra moisture that may make the sandwich soggy.
- Cheeses like sharp cheddar or mozzarella melt well and complement the sweetness of blueberries.
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey inside the sandwich before grilling.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
