Crispy Blueberry Grilled Cheese (Printable Version)

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.
