Description

A gourmet twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, featuring fresh blueberries, creamy brie, and melty mozzarella layered between buttery, golden bread slices.


Ingredients

  • 8 slices artisan bread (such as sourdough or brioche)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz brie cheese, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp honey or blueberry preserves (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Butter one side of each bread slice.
  2. Place 4 slices, butter-side down, on a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  3. Layer brie slices, shredded mozzarella, and a handful of blueberries on each slice of bread. Drizzle lightly with honey or spread preserves if using.
  4. Top with remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
  5. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve warm. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

  • Try goat cheese or cream cheese as an alternative to brie.
  • Use blueberry jam for a sweeter flavor profile.
  • Pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or tomato soup.
