Description

This Blackberry and Brie Grilled Sandwich on Sourdough is a delightful combination of sweet, creamy, and savory flavors, perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch or snack. The sandwich features ripe blackberries paired with rich, creamy Brie cheese, layered between slices of crusty sourdough bread and grilled to golden perfection in just 20 minutes.


Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 slices of sourdough bread
  • 6 oz Brie cheese, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the blackberries gently under cool water and pat dry. Slice the Brie cheese into even pieces to ensure even melting during grilling.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Lay out two slices of sourdough bread. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice, which will be the outside of the sandwich to help achieve a golden crust. On the unbuttered side of the bread, layer the Brie slices evenly, distribute the fresh blackberries over the cheese, and drizzle honey if using for added sweetness.
  3. Close the Sandwich: Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the filling, buttered side facing out. Press gently to compress the sandwich slightly, which helps the ingredients meld together while grilling.
  4. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the sandwiches to get a crispy golden crust without burning.
  5. Grill the Sandwich: Place the sandwiches in the skillet. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
  6. Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them rest for a minute. Slice diagonally and garnish with fresh thyme leaves for a fragrant touch if desired. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh blackberries for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • If Brie rind is too strong for your taste, you can trim it slightly before assembling.
  • Butter the bread evenly to achieve a crispy exterior without sogginess.
  • Adding honey is optional but enhances the sweetness and balances the tartness of blackberries.
  • Serve with a simple green salad or light soup for a complete meal.
