Ingredients

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients—fresh blueberries, good-quality cheese, and sturdy bread that crisps up nicely. Growing up, my mom always emphasized the importance of fresh, simple ingredients, and that wisdom has stuck with me. Whenever I make this sandwich, I reach for farm-fresh blueberries and a creamy cheese that melts well, like brie or havarti. You really want ingredients that shine on their own but come together harmoniously.

  • 2 slices of sourdough or rustic white bread
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry
  • 2–3 ounces brie cheese, sliced (can substitute with havarti or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • Handful of baby spinach or arugula (optional for extra greens)

Instructions

  1. Start by spreading the softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. This will help achieve that golden, crispy crust we all love.
  2. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a preheated skillet over medium heat. I like to use a cast iron pan for even heat distribution.
  3. Layer the cheese slices evenly on the bread in the pan. If you’re using brie, be generous—it melts beautifully and adds creaminess.
  4. Scatter the fresh blueberries over the cheese. Add a pinch of black pepper if you want a subtle contrast to the sweetness.
  5. If using, drizzle a little honey on top of the blueberries for that extra hint of sweetness.
  6. Add baby spinach or arugula if you want a fresh, peppery bite in your sandwich.
  7. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up. Press down gently with a spatula.
  8. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the cheese is melted and bread is crispy.
  9. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute before slicing. This little pause helps the cheese set just enough so it doesn’t ooze out immediately.
