Blueberry Balsamic Grilled Cheese Recipe


  • Author: Jake
  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 1 sandwich 1x

Description

This Blueberry Balsamic Grilled Cheese is a delightful blend of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. Featuring fresh blueberries, creamy goat and mozzarella cheeses, peppery arugula, and salty prosciutto, all layered between perfectly grilled bread with a balsamic honey mayo spread, this sandwich offers a gourmet twist on a classic comfort food.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Sandwich:

  • 2 slices Bread
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Goat Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Arugula
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 2 slices Prosciutto
  • 1 slice Mozzarella Cheese

For the Balsamic Mayo Spread:

  • 1 tablespoon Light Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Balsamic Mayo Mix: In a small bowl, combine light mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Stir thoroughly to create a smooth, sweet, and tangy spread.
  2. Oil the Bread: Lightly brush the outward-facing sides of each slice of bread with olive oil. This will help the bread crisp up nicely when grilled.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread (the side without oil), spread half of the balsamic mayo mixture. Then layer the goat cheese evenly over it, followed by arugula, prosciutto, fresh blueberries, and the mozzarella cheese slice. Spread the remaining balsamic mayo on the other slice of bread’s inner side, then close the sandwich with the oiled side facing out.
  4. Grill the Sandwich: Place the sandwich on a preheated skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cheeses melt and the filling is heated through.
  5. Crisp the Bread: Increase heat to medium-high and cook the sandwich for an additional 30 seconds on each side, or until the bread turns a light golden brown and crisp.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately to keep the bread from becoming soggy. Enjoy your gourmet blueberry balsamic grilled cheese warm and fresh.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the prosciutto.
  • Light mayonnaise keeps the sandwich lighter but regular mayonnaise can be used for richer flavor.
  • Adjust the honey quantity to balance sweetness according to taste.
  • Serve with a side salad or fresh fruit to complement the flavors.
