Ingredients
  

For the Sandwiches
  • 4 slices Sourdough or Whole Grain Bread Choose a sturdy type to hold up against the filling.
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries Feel free to swap with raspberries or strawberries for variety.
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Adjust based on the natural sweetness of your berries.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Fresh is best, lime juice works as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Thyme Fresh thyme can substitute or omit entirely.
  • 4 ounces White Cheddar Cheese Opt for medium or sharp varieties, avoiding pre-shredded options.
  • 4 ounces Mozzarella Cheese Choose whole milk for optimal results.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Essential for grilling to achieve a crispy outer layer.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Skillet
  • sharp knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes until thickened.
  2. While the compote cools, lay out half the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread cooled blueberry compote over each slice, and sprinkle with a mix of white cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  3. Top each cheese-covered slice with the remaining bread to form the sandwiches. Press down gently.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add unsalted butter. Cook sandwiches in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove sandwiches from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Cut each sandwich in half and serve, optionally sprinkling flaky sea salt or fresh thyme on top.
