Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2 slices sturdy bread (sourdough or whole grain) thicker slices hold up better against moisture
  • 1 cup white cheddar freshly shredded from a block for optimal melt quality
  • 1 cup mozzarella preferably whole milk for the best results
For the Blueberry Compote
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries can be substituted with other berries for variety
  • 1/4 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed recommended
  • 1 teaspoon lemon thyme optional, can substitute with regular thyme or omit
For Grilling
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter use for golden, crispy crust

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
  2. Take two slices of bread, spread a layer of cooled blueberry compote on one side of each slice. Layer white cheddar and mozzarella on one slice, then top with the other slice, compote-side down.
  3. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Place assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  4. Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, cut in half diagonally for presentation, and optionally sprinkle with flaky sea salt and lemon thyme before serving.
