Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 8 slices of whole wheat sour dough bread
  • 1/3 cup blueberry jam
  • 8 oz brie cheese cut into slices
  • 4 oz goat cheese crumbled
  • 8 large basil leaves
  • 1-2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Garlic salt to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Divide the blueberry jam between 4 slices of bread and top each slice with 2 basil leaves. Divide the brie and goat cheese between the other 4 slices of bread. Combine the blueberry jam and cheese slices of bread to create a sandwich. Slather the outside of both sides of the sandwich in butter and sprinkle with garlic salt.

  3. Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium to medium low heat (the pan should be hot to properly heat the oil but not smoking). Add the sandwiches and toast for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the sandwiches from the pan and transfer to baking sheet.

  4. Bake the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes in the oven or until the cheese is gooey and fully melted.
  5. Let cool slightly. Cut each sandwich in half. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

**These sandwiches pair perfectly with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or honey.
