Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Spread

2 slices Bread
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Light Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 teaspoon Honey

Filling

1 tablespoon Goat Cheese
1/4 cup Arugula
1/4 cup Fresh Blueberries
2 slices Prosciutto
1 slice Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions

Prepare Balsamic Mayo Spread: In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon honey until well combined to create a flavorful spread.
Oil the Bread: Lightly brush the outward-facing sides of each bread slice with 1 teaspoon olive oil to help achieve a golden, crispy crust during grilling.
Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the filling ingredients carefully in this order to prevent falling apart: spread half of the balsamic mayo mixture on the inner side of one bread slice, then add goat cheese, arugula, prosciutto slices, fresh blueberries, mozzarella cheese, and finally spread the remaining balsamic mayo on the inner side of the second bread slice before closing the sandwich.
Grill the Sandwich: Place the sandwich on a preheated medium-heat skillet or grill pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway, until the cheese is melted and the filling is heated through.
Finish for Crispness: Increase heat to medium-high and cook the sandwich for about 30 seconds on each side or until the bread is lightly browned and crisp for the perfect texture.
Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve right away to enjoy the sandwich while crispy and avoid sogginess. Enjoy your vibrant Blueberry Balsamic Grilled Cheese!

Notes

Using fresh blueberries gives a burst of sweetness and acidity that complements the savory ingredients.
Brush the bread with olive oil rather than butter for a lighter, fruit-forward flavor.
Serve immediately for best texture—delaying can cause the bread to become soggy.
Substitute prosciutto with turkey or omit for a vegetarian version.
Adjust honey and balsamic quantities to taste for more or less sweetness and tang.
