Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen blueberries work just as well for blueberry grilled cheese. They break down quickly and thicken into a perfect compote as they cook.

What cheese pairs best with blueberries?

Sharp white cheddar offers the best contrast, while brie and goat cheese give your sandwich a creamy and tangy flavor that works beautifully with blueberries.

How can I keep the sandwich from getting soggy?

Let the blueberry filling cool slightly and use sturdy bread like sourdough. Cooking on medium heat also helps the bread crisp evenly.

Can I use store-bought blueberry jam?

Yes, store-bought blueberry jam works well and offers a quick shortcut. Add a splash of lemon juice if you want a brighter, more balanced flavor.
