Description

A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, featuring a sweet and tangy blueberry balsamic spread paired with creamy goat cheese and sharp cheddar on sourdough bread. Perfect for a quick gourmet snack or a comforting lunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Spread

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

Sandwich

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • Softened butter, for spreading

Instructions

  1. Make the Blueberry Spread: Heat blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens into a paste-like consistency, about 5 minutes.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the warm blueberry spread onto one slice of sourdough bread. Layer two slices of cheddar cheese over the spread, then evenly distribute the crumbled goat cheese on top of the cheddar. Top with another slice of bread.
  3. Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on the outside of both the top and bottom slices of bread to ensure a golden, crispy crust during cooking.
  4. Cook the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses are melted and gooey.
  5. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use ripe blueberries for the sweetest and most flavorful spread.
  • Adjust sugar amount based on the natural sweetness of your blueberries.
  • For a sharper contrast, use a tangy goat cheese and a sharp cheddar.
  • Ensure butter is softened to spread evenly without tearing the bread.
  • Cook over medium heat to melt cheese thoroughly without burning the bread.
