Equipment

1 Small saucepan Used to cook the blueberry compote
1 Large skillet or griddle Nonstick works best for even browning
1 Spatula Helps flip the sandwiches gently

Ingredients

For the Blueberry Compote

1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 pinch salt

For the Grilled Cheese

4 slices sourdough bread Thick cut
4 ounces brie cheese Thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cream cheese Softened
2 tablespoons butter Softened
4 leaves fresh basil Optional

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until thick and jammy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Lay out sourdough slices and spread a thin layer of cream cheese on one side of each slice.
On two slices, layer brie cheese, then spoon about 2 tablespoons of blueberry compote on top. Add basil if using, then top with remaining bread slices cream cheese side down.
Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and cook sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.
Let sandwiches rest 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

Use white cheddar, gruyere, or goat cheese instead of brie for different flavor profiles.
Frozen blueberries work well but cook them 1 to 2 minutes longer to reduce moisture.
Cook on medium low heat so the bread does not burn before the cheese melts.
This sandwich is best served fresh but leftover blueberry compote can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
