Description

A sweet and savory twist on classic grilled cheese, featuring tangy balsamic blueberries, creamy goat cheese, and melty mozzarella on crispy sourdough.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 ounces fresh goat cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries burst and mixture thickens slightly (5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Spread softened goat cheese on two slices of sourdough bread.
  3. Top with mozzarella cheese, then spoon the blueberry balsamic mixture over the cheese.
  4. Add fresh basil leaves if desired. Place remaining bread slices on top.
  5. Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich.
  6. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  7. Serve warm.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, ensure cheese is vegetarian-friendly. Can also substitute with gouda or brie.
