Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Blueberry Grilled Cheese
  1. In a saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, white sugar, lemon juice, and lemon thyme. Cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened.
  2. Spread a generous layer of the blueberry compote on each slice of bread. Top with shredded white cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then place another slice of bread on top.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter, melt, and grill the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Flip the sandwiches carefully and grill the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted.
  5. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve warm, possibly with a side salad or soup.
