1-Prepare the jam: Creating this Blackberry Balsamic Brie Grilled Cheese starts with preparing the homemade jam, which is the heart of the recipe. Begin by combining 2 cups blackberries, 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 6 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and a pinch of kosher salt in a saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then simmer and crush the berries for 7 to 10 minutes until it thickens into a jam that cools and sets even more.

2-Slice the cheese and heat the skillet: Once the jam is ready and cooled, slice 300 grams of double cream brie cheese into ¼-inch thick slices. Heat a skillet over medium heat to get the perfect melt without burning the bread. Butter one side of four sourdough slices and place them butter side down in the skillet, then top with the brie slices and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme.

3-Assemble and cook the sandwiches: Cook until the cheese softens and the bread turns golden, then spread the cooled jam on the remaining four slices and place them jam-side down on top. Butter the tops, flip, and cook until everything is golden and melted.

4-Cool, slice, and enjoy: Let it cool for a few minutes, cut in half, and serve for a warm, delightful meal.
