Description
Okay, hear me out: blueberries + sharp white cheddar + golden, buttery sourdough. It sounds weird, but it works — and not just works, it slaps. Blueberry White Cheddar Grilled Cheese is the grown-up grilled cheese you serve when you want to look fancy but feel cozy. The blueberries bring a jammy sweetness that melts into the gooey cheddar, all hugged between two crisp slices of toasted bread. It’s brunchy, it’s brunch-for-dinner-y, it’s what your sandwich dreams are made of.
Ingredients
2 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite sturdy bread)
1/2 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
1/4 cup fresh blueberries (or use blueberry preserves if you’re in a pinch)
1–2 teaspoons honey (optional, but delicious)
1 tablespoon butter (for the pan)
Pinch of black pepper (trust me)
Instructions
Step 1: Get Things Ready
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. The buttered sides will go on the outside of the sandwich, so don’t forget.
Step 2: Build That Sandwich
Place one slice of bread, butter side down, on a cutting board. Sprinkle on half the cheese. Add the blueberries evenly (smash a few if you want a little more blueberry ooze). Drizzle with honey if you’re feeling fancy. Top with the remaining cheese and a pinch of black pepper. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter side up.
Step 3: Grill It to Golden Perfection
Place the sandwich in your hot skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side another 3–4 minutes. Press down gently with a spatula so everything melts together.
Step 4: Serve It Hot
Let it cool for just a minute (molten cheese alert), then slice and serve. It’s melty, jammy, and slightly salty in the best way.
Notes
Serve it with tomato soup, a springy green salad, or a handful of kettle chips
Pair with a chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon
Add bacon for a salty crunch if you’re feeling extra
