This Gourmet Blueberry Grilled Cheese is a sweet and savory twist on a comfort classic. Juicy blueberries, creamy cheese, and golden, crispy bread combine for a sandwich that’s both elegant and indulgent — perfect for brunch, lunch, or a simple gourmet treat.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough, brioche, or thick sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (for toasting)
  • ½ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy cheese (brie, goat cheese, or cream cheese)
  • ½ cup shredded melty cheese (mozzarella, havarti, or fontina)
  • Fresh thyme or basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook blueberries with honey or maple syrup and lemon zest until soft and jammy, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Butter one side of each bread slice.
  3. Spread creamy cheese on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
  4. Spoon blueberry compote over the cheese, then top with shredded melty cheese.
  5. Close sandwiches with remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
  6. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden and cheese is melted.
  7. Slice and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a sweet-spicy flavor.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a gourmet finish.
  • Use only sweetened cream cheese for a dessert version.
  • Arugula adds a fresh, peppery bite.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
