Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how this sandwich brings together sweet blueberries and rich, creamy Brie in a crisp, golden crust. It’s an unexpected but perfectly balanced combination that feels indulgent yet simple. It’s a quick fix for lunch or a fun twist on comfort food.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- 3 tsp salted butter, softened
- 2 slices white bread
- 2 oz Brie cheese, sliced
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- Pinch of fresh thyme (optional, to elevate flavor)
Directions
- I spread 1½ tsp softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. These will be the exterior for grilling.
- I lay one slice butter-side-down in a skillet over medium heat.
- On the bread in the skillet, I layer the Brie slices evenly, then scatter fresh blueberries on top. I drizzle honey and sprinkle thyme if I’m using them.
- I place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side-up.
- I grill the sandwich for about 3–4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown.
- I carefully flip and grill the other side for another 3–4 minutes, until the Brie is melted and the bread is crisp and golden.
- I transfer the sandwich to a cutting board, let it rest for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve warm.

Variations
Sometimes I add a thin layer of fig jam or swap in raspberries for a different berry twist. I’ve also tried this on sourdough or multigrain bread for more texture.
storage/reheating
This sandwich is best fresh, but if I need to store it, I wrap it tightly and refrigerate for up to one day. I reheat in a skillet over medium heat to bring back the crisp texture.
FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, I thaw and pat them dry first to avoid sogginess.
What’s the best bread to use?
I prefer sturdy white bread or sourdough to hold the fillings without getting soggy.
Can I make this ahead of time?
I recommend grilling it fresh, but I sometimes assemble the sandwich ahead and grill just before serving.
Can I use a different cheese?
Yes, I’ve used camembert or goat cheese for a similar creamy texture and unique flavor.
Is this sweet or savory?
It’s the best of both—I love the sweet blueberries and honey balanced with the salty Brie and buttery toast.
Conclusion
Blueberry Brie Grilled Cheese Delight is one of those fun recipes I make when I want something fast but still exciting. With melty cheese and a hint of fruit, it’s comfort food with flair—perfect for a solo lunch or impressing guests with minimal effort.
