Ingredients
Scale
For the Thyme Butter:
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 bunch of fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Grilled Cheese:
- 8 slices bread (I love sourdough for this)
- ½ cup blackberry jam
- 4 oz fontina cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- Salt and pepper
- The thyme butter
- Honey, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
For the Thyme Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add in the thyme and reduce the heat to low. Stirring frequently, cook the butter and thyme together for a few minutes, being careful to not let the butter get too brown.
- Remove from heat and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
For the Grilled Cheese:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- On each piece of bread, spread roughly 1 tablespoon of the blackberry jam. Top four of the bread slices with roughly 2 oz of the cheese and a few fresh blackberries. Season with a little salt and pepper and top with the other bread slices to create sandwiches.
- Brush the bread liberally with the thyme butter and then place in the skillet/on the griddle.
- Cook for a couple minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside and gooey and melty on the inside.
- Slice and serve while warm with an optional drizzle of honey.
