Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine fresh blueberries, white sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened and syrupy. Remove from heat and allow the compote to cool.
- Spread a generous layer of the cooled blueberry compote on four slices of your chosen bread. Sprinkle shredded white cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the compote, ensuring an even distribution.
- Top each with another slice of bread to create sandwiches.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Once the butter is bubbling, add your assembled sandwiches, making sure they're nicely coated with butter.
- Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully cover the skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese.
- Flip the sandwiches and grill the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until crispy and the cheese is gooey.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and cut each sandwich in half for a delightful presentation. Optional: sprinkle with flaky sea salt and fresh lemon thyme leaves.
