Making your Blackberry Balsamic & Brie Grilled Cheese is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Prepare the Blackberries: In a small bowl, toss the blackberries with balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let them marinate while you prepare the rest of the sandwich.

2. Prepare the Bread: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.

3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, into the skillet. Layer the Brie slices evenly over the bread.

4. Add Blackberries: Spoon the marinated blackberries over the Brie. You can also add fresh basil leaves at this stage for extra flavor.

5. Top the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.

6. Cook the Sandwich: Grill the sandwich for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.

7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the Brie is melted and the bread is crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

8. Remove and Slice: Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute, then slice it in half for easy handling.

9. Optional Drizzle: For an extra touch, drizzle a little balsamic reduction on top before serving.

10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your grilled cheese while it’s warm!
