Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 8 slices Crusty Bread Sourdough or artisan for best crunch
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries Can swap with blackberries or raspberries
  • 1/2 cup White Cheddar Cheese Opt for medium to sharp for richer taste
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese Whole milk mozzarella is best
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Unsalted works best for frying
For the Blueberry Compote
  • 1/4 cup White Sugar Adjust based on berry sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Fresh is best but bottled works in a pinch
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Thyme Regular thyme can replace if necessary

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Skillet

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of lemon thyme. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then simmer for about 20 minutes until thickened and syrupy. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Lay out 8 slices of crusty bread. Spread blueberry compote over 4 of the slices. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup of white cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the compote. Place remaining slices on top to form sandwiches.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Place two sandwiches in the skillet and cover. Grill for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
  4. Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 2-3 minutes with the lid on until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Optionally sprinkle with flaky sea salt and extra thyme. Slice sandwiches in half and serve warm with soup or salad.
