Description
A deliciously unique twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich featuring a sweet and tangy blueberry balsamic spread paired with sharp cheddar and creamy goat cheese, all toasted to golden perfection on sourdough bread.
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, to spread over bread
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberry spread: Heat blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries soften and break down, forming a thick paste-like mixture, which takes about 5 minutes.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the blueberry spread onto one slice of sourdough bread. Top it with two slices of cheddar cheese, then evenly spread the crumbled goat cheese over the cheddar.
- Complete sandwich assembly: Place the second slice of bread on top to create the sandwich. Spread softened butter over both the top and bottom slices of bread for a golden crust.
- Cook the sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut it in half, and serve hot to enjoy the perfect balance of savory cheese and sweet blueberry flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor in the spread; frozen can be used but may need longer to cook down.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of the blueberries or your personal preference.
- Softened butter spreads more easily to ensure even browning on the bread.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the melty cheese texture.
- For a lighter version, you can reduce the amount of goat cheese or use low-fat cheddar.
