Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 slices of cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- Prepare the bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of bread buttered side down on a skillet or griddle. Layer with one slice of cheese, evenly distribute the fresh blueberries on top, then add the second slice of cheese. Cover with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat the skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes per side. Carefully flip the sandwich to grill the other side to the same golden crispiness and ensure cheese is melted through.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm for the best melty and fruity experience.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm blueberries to avoid excess moisture leaking into the sandwich.
- Cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack work best for melting.
- Cook on medium heat to prevent burning while giving cheese enough time to melt.
- Optionally, add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra sweetness.
