Description

Indulge in the perfect balance of sweet and savory with this Balsamic Blackberry Bliss Grilled Cheese. Fresh blackberries, balsamic glaze, and a blend of cheeses come together in a gooey, flavorful sandwich that elevates your grilled cheese game.


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

  1. Prepare Blackberry Mixture: In a small bowl, mash the blackberries slightly with balsamic glaze and honey until combined but still chunky.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
