Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by preheating a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
Spread unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
On the unbuttered sides of four slices of bread, layer a generous amount of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Scatter fresh blackberries over the layered cheese, and drizzle balsamic glaze over the top.
Top each cheese and berry-covered slice with another piece of bread, ensuring the buttered sides face outwards.
Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the preheated skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Once grilled to perfection, let the sandwiches cool for a minute before slicing.
