Ingredients
Balsamic Blackberry Mixture:
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon honey
Grilled Cheese:
- 8 slices of sourdough or artisan bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened (plus more for toasting)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Blackberry Mixture: In a small bowl, mash the blackberries slightly with balsamic glaze and honey until combined but still chunky.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Butter one side of each bread slice. Layer 4 slices, butter-side down, with mozzarella, blackberry mixture, goat cheese, and thyme. Top with remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
- Grill: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing slightly, until golden and cheese melts. Rest for 1 minute before serving.
Notes
- Try brioche or multigrain bread for varied texture.
- If needed, make balsamic glaze by reducing balsamic vinegar with brown sugar.
- Enhance with arugula or baby spinach for added flavor.
