Blackberry Balsamic and Brie Grilled Cheese Delight

This grilled cheese sandwich is a mix of sweet and savory. The creamy Brie and tart blackberries work well together. Adding balsamic glaze gives it a rich flavor. You will love how the rhubarb-lavender compote adds a unique twist.

To make the compote, start with fresh rhubarb. It has a nice tartness that contrasts with the sweet honey. Cook the rhubarb with honey and salt in a small pan. In just a few minutes, the rhubarb softens and breaks down. Stir in dried lavender buds for a lovely floral note. This creates a bright, fragrant topping.

While the compote cools, prepare your bread. Sourdough works best; its texture holds up well. Butter one side of each slice. The butter helps the bread crisp up nicely. On the unbuttered side, layer the Brie cheese evenly. The cheese melts beautifully, adding creaminess to each bite.

Next, scatter fresh blackberries on top of the Brie. Their juicy sweetness balances the cheese. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the blackberries. This adds depth and a bit of tang. Now, spread your rhubarb-lavender compote atop the blackberries. A pinch of salt and pepper enhance the flavors.

Top with the remaining slices of bread. Buttered sides should face out. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, place your sandwiches in the pan. Cook until golden brown and the cheese melts. This takes about 3-4 minutes per side.

Once done, slice the sandwiches in half. Serve warm, and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors. For a beautiful presentation, use a rustic wooden board. Add extra blackberries and fresh mint to the plate. You can even include a small dish of the rhubarb-lavender compote for dipping.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 cup rhubarb, chopped

1 teaspoon dried lavender buds

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a small saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, honey, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb has softened and is beginning to break down, about 5-7 minutes.

    Stir in the dried lavender buds and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. This will be your rhubarb-lavender compote.

      Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

        On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer the Brie cheese slices evenly.

          Scatter the fresh blackberries over the Brie, then drizzle with balsamic glaze.

            Spread a generous spoonful of the rhubarb-lavender compote on top of the blackberries, and season with a touch of salt and pepper for balance.

              Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.

                Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

                  Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
