Crispy Blueberry Grilled Cheese

Print Recipe

A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, featuring creamy cheeses and aromatic blueberry jam for a sweet and savory experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 small bundle lemon thyme, tied with kitchen twine
  • 8 slices sourdough bread, approximately 1/4 inch thick
  • 4 ounces white cheddar cheese, grated
  • 4 ounces whole milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing
  • Fresh thyme leaves, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme bundle. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Lower the heat to low and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes until the jam thickens. Remove the thyme bundle and let the jam cool for about 10 minutes.
  4. Spread the cooled blueberry jam evenly over four slices of sourdough bread.
  5. Distribute the grated white cheddar and shredded mozzarella over the jam layer, then top with the remaining slices of bread.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the pan.
  7. Carefully place two sandwiches into the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Cover with a lid to ensure the cheeses melt fully, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  9. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and butter.
  10. Remove from the skillet, cut in half, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and additional thyme leaves before serving.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, ripe blueberries and ensure cheese is at room temperature. Monitor skillet heat to avoid burning the bread.
