Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 ounces Blue cheese
- 4 ounces Gruyère cheese
- 1 cup Red grapes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Halve the red grapes lengthwise and toss them in a small bowl with olive oil, honey, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
In the preheated skillet, sear the grapes for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and caramelized. Set aside.
Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Layer 2 ounces of blue cheese and 2 ounces of Gruyère on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
Add a generous spoonful of the seared grapes over the cheese. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves if desired.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out, to form a sandwich.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy the unique blend of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.
