A common question I get on the blog is: what is your favorite thing you’ve made? My answer is usually roasted strawberry & chocolate grilled brie – which is kind of a big deal because as of this post, I’ve shared 278 recipes. (Wow! That feels surprising!) So it’s saying something that this sandwich reminds me a lot of that other one. By association alone it’s earned it’s place as a tasty, grown-up grilled cheese. Also it’s just a very pretty grilled cheese.
Balsamic Blueberry Grilled Cheese
Serves 2
1 cup blueberries
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 slices wheat bread
1 cup spinach
4 slices havarti
Ground pepper
Heat blueberries, vinegar, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Strain and set aside. Layer half of havarti and spinach leaves onto one slice of wheat bread. Spread blueberry mixture over spinach.
Top with remaining havarti and ground pepper.
Place another bread slice over cheese. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook sandwich on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melty.
