Description

This Blueberry Brie Grilled Cheese is a delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, combining creamy brie, sweet fresh blueberries, and optional sharp cheddar for a perfect balance of flavors. It’s grilled to golden perfection for a melty, fruity, and savory treat that’s quick and easy to make.


Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Butter

  • 4 slices thick sliced bread (such as Sara Lee® Artesanoâ„¢)
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Cheeses

  • 4 ounces brie cheese, sliced
  • 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced (optional)

Fruits

  • 1/2 cup blueberries (or blackberries or strawberries)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat to prepare for grilling the sandwiches evenly and to create a golden crust on the bread.
  2. Butter Bread: Butter one side of each bread slice. This will help the bread crisp up and brown nicely in the skillet.
  3. Assemble Sandwich Bottom Layer: Place two slices of the bread butter-side down onto the heated skillet. This is the base of your grilled cheese.
  4. Add Brie Cheese: Top each bread slice on the skillet with slices of brie cheese, which will melt into a creamy layer.
  5. Add Berries and Cheddar: Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the brie, then add the optional sharp cheddar slices on top for an extra cheesy kick and flavor contrast.
  6. Top Sandwich: Place the remaining bread slices on top of the layered fillings, butter side facing out to ensure both exterior sides brown evenly.
  7. Cook Sandwiches: Grill for 3–4 minutes on each side until the bread is a golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, using a spatula to flip carefully.

Notes

  • You can substitute blueberries with blackberries or strawberries based on your preference for fruity flavor.
  • Optional sharp cheddar cheese adds extra flavor complexity but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • Use thick sliced bread for a sturdier sandwich that holds the melting cheese and fruit well.
  • Adjust the heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
