Redefine a classic comfort food with a sweet little twist to the original. Blueberries add a gentle sweetness to this savory staple, made with your choice of cheese in under 15 minutes. You can use fresh blueberries, which grow aplenty across PA in the summer months, or pull out frozen berries any time of year. The superfood blueberries add a boost of essential nutrients and antioxidants to the sandwich and turn it into something altogether delightful!
If you have honey on hand, we suggest a little drizzle as a finishing touch.
