Ingredients

2 slices Bread
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Goat Cheese
1/4 cup Arugula
1/4 cup Fresh Blueberries
2 slices Prosciutto
1 slice Mozzarella Cheese
1 tablespoon Light Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 teaspoon Honey

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix together the light mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and honey until well combined.
Step 2: Lightly spread the olive oil on the outward-facing side of each bread slice to prepare for grilling.
Step 3: Assemble the sandwich by spreading half of the balsamic mayo mixture on the un-oiled side of one bread slice. Then layer the goat cheese, arugula, prosciutto, fresh blueberries, mozzarella cheese, and finally spread the remaining balsamic mayo on the second bread slice before closing the sandwich.
Step 4: Grill the sandwich over medium heat for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cheese melts and the filling is heated through.
Step 5: Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for an additional 30 seconds on each side to achieve a crisp, golden-brown crust.
Step 6: Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich at its best before the bread becomes soggy. Enjoy your flavorful grilled cheese!

Tips & Variations

Try substituting goat cheese with cream cheese for a milder flavor and creamier texture.
Add a few fresh basil leaves for an herbal note that complements the blueberries and balsamic perfectly.
Use sourdough bread for extra tang and sturdiness.
If fresh blueberries aren’t available, frozen ones can be used but thaw and drain them well first to avoid sogginess.

Storage

Store any leftover grilled cheese wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in a toaster oven to keep the bread crisp without drying out the filling. Avoid using a microwave to prevent soggy bread.

FAQs

Can I make this sandwich vegan?

You can make a vegan version by using plant-based bread, vegan mayonnaise, vegan cheese alternatives, and omitting the prosciutto. Substitute goat cheese with a cashew-based spread to keep a creamy texture.
