For the Bread

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Blueberry Grilled Cheese
  1. In a small saucepan, combine fresh blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme. Cook over medium heat until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Lower heat to simmer for about 15 minutes, until thickened.
  2. Spread cooled blueberry compote on one side of each slice of bread. Top with an even mix of shredded white cheddar and mozzarella, placing another slice of bread on top.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt unsalted butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, cover, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. Flip the sandwiches gently, adding more butter if necessary, cover again, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the other side is golden brown.
  5. Remove from skillet and let rest for a minute. Cut in half and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and thyme before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, consume sandwiches fresh off the grill. Allow blueberry compote to cool completely before using to maintain structure and avoid sogginess.
