- Okay, so today, we're gonna make this
blackberry balsamic and basil grilled cheese sandwich.
It's a mouthful, but it's really, really tasty,
I promise you.
So some people like white wine.
Some people like red wine. I like green wine.
And what I mean by that is eco wine.
So this rose is SIP certified, it's sustainable,
and I really love wines that I like to drink,
but, also, I care about the planet.
So it's two things in one that's perfect,
and it goes great with this grilled cheese sandwich.
So let's get to making it.
Okay, so the first thing that we're gonna do
for this grilled cheese sandwich
is we're gonna make a blackberry compote.
So we're gonna add some blackberries to a small saucepan
and then just go ahead and mash those with a fork.
You're gonna add in your balsamic vinegar
and a little bit of honey,
and then we're gonna cook this compote down.
You want to have it simmer just ever so slightly.
Don't overcook it, or it's gonna burn,
but just simmer it very, very slightly.
It's gonna take about 20 to 30 minutes
for that compote to fully cook down.
You wanna reduce it in volume by half.
The way that you know that this compote is ready to eat
is you can actually just take a bit of it
on the back of a spoon, draw your finger across,
and if that actually, if that line holds,
the compote is ready and good to go.
Now, we're gonna make our grilled cheese sandwiches.

So the thing that's great about this recipe
is that they're actually
sheet-pan grilled cheese sandwiches,
so you can just build the grilled cheese sandwiches,
stick 'em in the oven,
and you don't even have to really do a whole lot after that.
You just get tasty grilled cheese sandwiches when it's done.
So the first thing you wanna do is take some softened butter
and add some chopped parsley to it,
and just mix that together.
We're gonna take your slices of bread,
and we're gonna butter one side
of all of the slices of bread.
Okay, so you have your slices of bread
that are buttered on just one side.
You're gonna take a sheet pan
and take four of those slices of bread
and put them buttered side down.
And then you're gonna take your delicious
blackberry balsamic compote
that goes wonderful with this ganache rose
and just put some of that compote on each slice of bread.
Go ahead and top off each slice of bread with the cheese.
You're gonna add in your cheddar cheese,
and you're gonna add in the fontina cheese.
Now, we're gonna add some basil.
I love this part of the recipe
because the basil smells amazing.
So take your basil leaves, pull off those stems,
and just put them on top of the cheese,
and then take those remaining slices of bread
and put them on the sandwiches that you've built
butter side up.
You're gonna stick that in the oven.
You're gonna bake it at 450 degrees
for about five to seven minutes.
We just wanna kind of check on it
until it gets golden brown on the bottom side.
Once it's golden brown on the bottom side,
go ahead and flip those sandwiches over very carefully,
and then, again, bake it for about five minutes.
Once the bottom side on that is golden brown,
then you are good to go,
and you have a tasty grilled cheese sandwich
to go with your sparkling rose.
Like I said, eco wine. Go for the eco wine.
This wine is SIP certified.
