Golden slices with melted cheese and sweet blueberry layers create an irresistible, crispy delight.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread
01 -
2 slices sourdough bread
→ Butter
02 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
→ Cheeses
03 -
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 -
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 -
¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
→ Preserves
06 -
2 tablespoons blueberry preserves
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Bring butter and cream cheese to room temperature for easy spreading. Butter one side of each sourdough slice.
02 -
Flip bread slices and evenly spread a generous layer of cream cheese on the unbuttered sides.
03 -
Spoon blueberry preserves over the cream cheese on one slice, keeping them thick or gently swirling if desired.
04 -
Layer shredded mozzarella and sharp cheddar atop the preserves to ensure a balanced melt and flavor.
05 -
Assemble sandwich, place in a medium-heat skillet, and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until bread is golden and cheeses are melted. Press gently with a spatula.
06 -
Let sandwich rest briefly to allow cheeses to set, then slice diagonally and serve warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Softening spreads to room temperature improves even coating and prevents tearing bread.
02 -
Resting after grilling helps the cheese stabilize, minimizing spillage when slicing.
