Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough or artisan bread
- 4 ounces brie cheese, sliced (rind on or off)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or blueberry jam)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring good coverage to achieve a golden crust when grilled.
- Heat the skillet: Place two of the bread slices, buttered side down, onto a skillet or griddle set over medium heat to gently warm.
- Assemble the sandwich: Layer the sliced brie evenly over the bread in the skillet. Add fresh blueberries or a spoonful of blueberry jam on top of the cheese. If using, drizzle honey over the berries for extra sweetness.
- Top and grill: Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered side up. Grill the sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the brie melts smoothly.
- Serve warm: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and the bread is crisp.
Notes
- This sandwich pairs beautifully with a light salad or a bowl of tomato soup for a complete meal.
- You can substitute blueberries with blackberries, figs, or pear slices to create different flavor variations.
