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 blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens into a paste-like consistency.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the warm blueberry spread onto one slice of sourdough bread. Layer two slices of cheddar cheese over the spread and then evenly distribute the crumbled goat cheese on top. Top with another slice of bread.
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter evenly on the outside of both the top and bottom slices of bread to ensure a golden, crispy 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, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses have melted into a gooey texture.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut it in half, and serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe blueberries for the sweetest and most flavorful spread.
- You can substitute sourdough with your preferred bread type but sturdier bread works best to hold the filling.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste depending on the sweetness of your blueberries.
- Butter the bread generously for a crispier crust.
- Serve with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
