Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, white sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme. Stir occasionally as the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes, until thickened and jammy, stirring occasionally. Once thickened, remove from heat and let the compote cool completely.
- Take two slices of your hearty bread and spread a generous layer of the cooled blueberry compote on one side of each slice. Sprinkle a combination of white cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the blueberry layer, ensuring even coverage for a gooey melt. Place the remaining slices of bread on top, pressing gently.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add a pat of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan. Carefully place two assembled sandwiches into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bread reaches a golden brown color.
- Once the first side is golden, gently flip the sandwiches using a spatula, adding a little more butter if necessary. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring both sides are evenly browned and the cheese is fully melted.
- Carefully remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute or two before slicing them in half. For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt and a few sprigs of fresh lemon thyme on top.

Notes
For best results, use fresh shredded cheese and maintain medium-low heat while grilling to achieve a crispy exterior with melted interior cheese.
