How to Make Irresistible Blueberry White Cheddar Grilled Cheese

Ingredients

2 slices sourdough or multigrain bread
2 oz (60 g) white cheddar cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
2 tbsp fresh blueberries
1 tbsp blueberry jam
1–2 tbsp softened butter (for toasting)
Optional: Fresh dill or mint for garnish

Directions

Butter one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice butter-side down in a skillet and spread blueberry jam on the inside.
Layer with white cheddar cheese, fresh blueberries, and optional herbs.
Place the second slice of bread on top, with the buttered side facing out.
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for 2–3 minutes on each side until it is golden brown and the cheese melts.
Let it rest for 30 seconds, then slice diagonally. Garnish with extra blueberries or herbs if desired.

How to Serve Irresistible Blueberry White Cheddar Grilled Cheese

Serve this sandwich warm, ideally alongside a simple green salad or a bowl of fresh fruit. The sweetness of the blueberries pairs well with a refreshing drink like lemonade or iced tea. It makes a great lunch option that feels both cozy and fresh.

How to Store Irresistible Blueberry White Cheddar Grilled Cheese

If you have leftovers, let the sandwich cool completely, then wrap it in foil or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 1-2 days. To reheat, place it back in the skillet over low heat until warmed through or use a toaster oven for a crispy finish.

Tips to Make Irresistible Blueberry White Cheddar Grilled Cheese

Use high-quality white cheddar for the best flavor.
Fresh blueberries give the best taste, but you can use frozen blueberries if needed.
For added flavor, consider adding a thin slice of apple or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Don’t skip letting the sandwich rest after cooking; it helps the cheese to set slightly for better slicing.

Variation

For a different twist, try adding some cooked bacon or turkey for protein. You can also swap the bread for a gluten-free option if needed. Experiment with different cheeses like brie or goat cheese for unique flavors.
