Equipment

  • 2-quart saucepan
  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

Blueberry Jam

  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Juice lemon
  • 1 small bunch lemon thyme sprigs tied with kitchen twine

Sandwich Components

  • 8 slices sourdough bread cut ¼ inch thick
  • 4 oz white cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions
 

Prepare Blueberry Jam

  • Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and tied lemon thyme in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Lower heat and cook 10 more minutes until thickened. Remove thyme and let cool.

Assemble Sandwich

  • Lay out 4 bread slices and spread with cooled blueberry jam. Top with mixed white cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Close with remaining bread slices.

Cook Sandwich

  • Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and melt. Cook two sandwiches covered for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  • Repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches.

Finish

  • Cut sandwiches in half. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and extra lemon thyme leaves if desired.

Notes

Watch heat carefully to prevent bread from burning while cheese melts. Leftover blueberry jam can be stored in the refrigerator. Using two types of cheese creates the perfect melty texture.
