Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

4 slices sourdough or artisan bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or mayo
4 ounces brie or goat cheese
½ cup blueberries fresh or cooked into jam
1 teaspoon honey or balsamic glaze optional
1 pinch of thyme or basil optional

Method

1. Prepare the blueberries by simmering them with honey or sugar until slightly thickened, then let cool.
2. Spread butter or mayo on the outer sides of each bread slice.
3. Layer brie or goat cheese on the inner sides, then spoon the blueberries on top.
4. Add another thin layer of cheese for an extra gooey melt.
5. Place the sandwich in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook slowly until each side turns golden brown.
6. Let the sandwich rest for a minute on a wire rack, then slice diagonally and serve warm.

Notes

For a crispier texture, use mayonnaise instead of butter on the outer crust. You can prepare the blueberry spread up to a week ahead and store it refrigerated. Avoid overfilling the sandwich to keep it from turning soggy.
