Ingredients

The printable recipe card with exact measurements and the full method appears in the recipe section below.

• Salted butter: Softened. Salted adds extra flavor; unsalted will work if that’s what you have.
• Bread: White bread is suggested for a mild, soft texture, but honey wheat or whole wheat are good alternatives.
• Brie cheese: Sliced Brie—adjust thickness to your preference.
• Blueberry pie filling or jam: Use pie filling for a chunkier texture and extra sweetness, or use jam for a smoother spread.

How to Make a Blueberry Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwich

This sweet grilled cheese comes together in under 10 minutes.

• Step One: Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
• Step Two: On the non-buttered sides, layer the sliced Brie and a spoonful of blueberry filling or jam. Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
• Step Three: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the sandwich 2–3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden and the Brie has melted. Slice and serve hot.

Equipment Needed

• Nonstick skillet or griddle
• Spatula

What to Serve With a Blueberry Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwich

This sandwich is excellent on its own but pairs well with light sides. Consider fresh fruit, a simple green salad, or a yogurt parfait for a balanced meal.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Butter the outside of the bread. This ensures a golden, crispy exterior and adds flavor.
• Preheat the skillet. A hot pan helps form a crisp crust while melting the cheese.
• Cook over medium-high heat. Too-high heat can burn the bread before the cheese melts; medium-high gives the best balance.
• Serve immediately. Brie is best warm and melty—enjoy the sandwich right away for peak flavor and texture.

Variations and Substitutions

• Add protein: Prosciutto, bacon, turkey or ham make the sandwich more substantial.
• Swap the cheese: Try fresh mozzarella, Gouda, goat cheese or Havarti for different textures and flavors.
• Make it sweeter: Drizzle a little honey over the blueberry filling for extra sweetness.
• Try other fruits: Blackberry, strawberry, peach or thin apple slices work well in place of blueberries.

Storage Instructions

Leftovers aren’t recommended—this sandwich is best when freshly made. If you must store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently in a skillet to try to restore some of the crispness and melt the cheese.

What Kind of Cheese Goes With Blueberries?

Brie is a natural match thanks to its rich, creamy texture and mild, buttery flavor. Other creamy, mild cheeses—mozzarella, Gouda, goat cheese or Havarti—also pair nicely with the sweetness of blueberries.

How Do You Cut Brie for Grilled Cheese?

Slice Brie to your preferred thickness—thicker slices yield a richer, gooier center while thinner slices distribute more evenly. Leaving the rind on is optional; it’s edible and adds a subtle tang.
