Description
This unique grilled cheese features the rich, tangy flavors of balsamic vinegar and fresh blackberries, paired with gooey melted cheddar cheese between golden, buttered bread. It’s a sweet and savory twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 8 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackberry Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries and balsamic vinegar. Cook over medium heat until the blackberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the unbuttered side of 4 slices of bread.
- Add the Blackberry Mixture: Top the cheese with a spoonful of the blackberry mixture and place another slice of bread on top, buttered side out.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, try using a different type of cheese such as brie or goat cheese.
- You can also add a bit of fresh thyme or basil to the blackberry mixture for a more herbaceous flavor.
