Equipment

Ingredients
Bread
- 8 slices sourdough bread thick slices work best
Blueberry Compote
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
Filling
- 8 oz Brie cheese sliced, rind removed if preferred
- 2 tablespoons salted butter softened
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Make the Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and honey. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the Base: Lay out 4 slices of sourdough bread. Arrange Brie cheese slices evenly on top.
- Add the Filling: Spoon the warm blueberry mixture over the Brie cheese. Place remaining 4 slices of bread on top to close the sandwiches.
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter generously on the top slice of each sandwich.
- Grill: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches butter-side down in the hot pan. While the first side cooks, carefully butter the top side. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip and Finish: Flip sandwiches and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. The bread should be golden and the Brie melted.
- Serve: Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board. Let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
Use thick slices of sourdough bread for better texture. Remove the rind from Brie for a smoother texture. Let the blueberry compote cool slightly before assembling to avoid soggy bread.
