- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups of fresh blueberries, 1/3 cup of sugar, the juice of 1 lemon, and a few sprigs of lemon thyme. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally; then reduce heat and simmer gently for about 20 minutes until thickened.
- Take four slices of sturdy bread and spread a layer of cooled blueberry compote on two of the slices. Top with thick slices of white cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then cover with the remaining slices to create sandwiches.
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden-brown and cheese starts to melt.
- Carefully flip each sandwich using a spatula, adding more butter if necessary. Cover again and cook for another 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden. Check for desired doneness.
- Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board, cut in half to reveal the melted cheese and blueberry compote. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and garnish with thyme leaves. Enjoy warm!

Notes
Ensure the blueberry compote reaches a thick, jammy texture to prevent sogginess in the sandwich. Freshly shred your cheeses for the best melt.
