Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Blueberry Grilled Cheese
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, white sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme. Stir gently and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the compote thickens and becomes syrupy.
- After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and let the blueberry compote cool for 10 minutes.
- Take half of your artisan bread slices and spread an even layer of the cooled blueberry compote on each slice. Sprinkle shredded white cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the compote.
- Place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches. Press them gently together.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted, place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Once grilled, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut in half and sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt if desired.
