You guys. I don’t know what to say, other than if you make this sandwich you’re going to be over the moon in heaven. I know – a grilled cheese seems so simple. Stuffed with wild blueberry preserves, goat cheese (or any favorite cheese) this sandwich is anything but boring!
If you haven’t noticed, I’m just a little bit excited about the deliciousness of this breakfast sandwich. This easy sandwich starts with 2 slices of your favorite bread, gluten-free, if that’s your thing. And that gets stuffed with your favorite cheese. Brie or goat cheese would be fabulous. I actually used a dairy-free swiss cheese and it was surprisingly so good. Last, but definitely not least, spread on a good amount of wild blueberry preserves.
Good preserves make everything better. Especially that flimsy, unsubstantial grilled cheese of your youth. As an added plus, look for one made with natural ingredients and the finest quality fruit that’s Non-GMO Project Verified, with no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial coloring or no preservatives added. I can’t definitely get down with that!
Good wild blueberry preserves are just like homemade and even have tiny wild blueberries in them. You guys are going to love this grilled cheese sandwich. It’s:
Sweet + savory
Wholesome
Comforting
So easy
Quick
And mind-blowing delicious
Wouldn’t this sandwich make the most perfect Mother’s Day treat? I could sure go for a breakfast in bed made up of this yumminess, a side of bacon and a never-ending cup of coffee. Just watch those crumbs!
