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, for spreading
Instructions
- Make the Blueberry Spread: Heat the blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the mixture cooks for about 5 minutes, allowing the blueberries to break down and thicken into a jam-like consistency.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the warm blueberry spread onto one side of a slice of sourdough bread. Layer two slices of cheddar cheese over the spread, then sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly on top. Place another slice of bread on top to close the sandwich.
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter evenly on the outside surfaces of both the top and bottom slices of bread. This ensures a crispy, golden crust during cooking.
- Cook the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Flip carefully to achieve a golden-brown crust and ensure the cheeses have melted thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and cut it in half. Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the perfect blend of crispy bread and melted cheese with flavorful blueberry spread.
Notes
- You can substitute sourdough with any sturdy bread like rustic white or multigrain for a different flavor.
- Adjust the sugar in the blueberry spread depending on how sweet you prefer the sandwich.
- For easier flipping, use a spatula and press lightly to compact the sandwich while cooking.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh off the skillet to maintain the crispiness and melty texture.
- Leftover blueberry spread can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and used on toast or as a dessert topping.
