Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp (5ml) balsamic glaze
- 1 tsp (2g) fresh lemon zest
- 0.5 tsp (0.5g) fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp (15ml) water
- 4 thick slices (200g) sourdough bread
- 1 cup (100g) aged Gruyère, freshly shredded
- 0.5 cup (50g) Havarti, shredded
- 1 tbsp (15g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions:
- Combine the blueberries, balsamic glaze, water, lemon zest, and thyme in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes until the berries have burst and the liquid is thick and syrupy.
- Lay out your four slices of sourdough and spread a thin, even layer of Greek yogurt on one side of each slice.
- Flip two slices over so the yogurt side is down. Divide half of the Gruyère and Havarti across these two slices. Top with a generous spoonful of the blueberry reduction, then add the remaining cheese on top of the berries.
- Place the sandwiches in a cold skillet, then turn the heat to medium low. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and sizzles softly.
- Carefully flip each sandwich using a wide spatula. Press down gently with the back of the spatula to encourage the cheese to bond with the bread.
- Cook for another 4 minutes until the second side is crisp and the cheese is visibly oozing from the edges. Remove from the heat and let them rest on a wire rack for 2 minutes.
- Slice the sandwiches on a diagonal. Listen for the shatter of the crust as the knife goes through. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt while still hot.
