Bread & Cheese
- 2 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
- 2 slices of your favorite cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
Fruit
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Prepare the Sandwich: Start by laying out the bread slices on a clean surface. Place the cheese slices evenly on one slice of bread. Scatter the fresh blueberries evenly over the cheese, then top with the second slice of bread to form a sandwich.
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter generously on the outside of both slices of bread to ensure a crispy, golden crust when grilled.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the pan. Let it rest for a minute to allow the melted cheese to set slightly, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for varying tastes and meltiness.
- Cook over medium heat to prevent burning while allowing the cheese to melt properly.
- If you prefer, sprinkle a little cinnamon or honey inside for an added sweetness dimension.
