Instructions

Prepare the Blueberry Layer

  1. Step
    In a small bowl, gently toss blueberries with honey and lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes so juices begin to develop.

Butter the Bread

  1. Step
    Spread butter evenly on one side of both slices of bread. This will create a beautifully crisp, golden exterior when grilled.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Step
    On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer half of the shredded white cheddar and mozzarella. Spoon the blueberry mixture evenly over the cheese. Top with the remaining shredded cheeses and then the second slice of bread, buttered side out.

Grill the Sandwich

  1. Step
    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook 2–3 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Serve Warm

  1. Step
    Transfer to a cutting board, slice in half, and serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and the blueberries burst with sweet-tart flavour.
