  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
  • Generously butter the outside of each sandwich.
  • Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula.
  • Cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.

Serving

  • Remove from heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing the sandwiches diagonally.
  • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, serve immediately while the cheese is still gooey and warm.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, adjust sweetness based on preference, experiment with different cheeses, and consider healthier options like olive oil for grilling.
