Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for picnic idea Blueberry Grilled Cheese
  1. In a small saucepan, combine fresh or frozen blueberries with sugar over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, gently mashing the blueberries with a fork as they soften.
  2. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese or brie on one side of each slice of your chosen bread for the Blueberry Grilled Cheese.
  3. On two selected slices, layer a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella or fontina cheese over the cream cheese. Evenly spoon the cooled blueberry mixture on top of the cheese.
  4. Gently place the remaining bread slices on top, cream cheese side down, to form two sandwiches. Press down lightly to ensure the ingredients stick together.
  5. Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Butter the outer sides of each assembled sandwich generously. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once cooked, remove the Blueberry Grilled Cheese from the skillet and let them rest for 1–2 minutes. Slice each sandwich diagonally and sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
  7. Plate the sandwiches while they're warm and consider pairing with a light arugula salad or a comforting bowl of tomato soup.
