Blackberry Grilled Cheese Sandwich

April 5, 2013

In honor of National Grilled Cheese Month, Foodista is serving up some of our favorite recipes for this classic American comfort food.  Cheese and fruit is a natural pairing.  The sharpness of the cheese complements the sweetness of the fruit or preserves.  This blackberry grilled cheese takes the flavor elements of a cheese plate and sticks them between two pieces of bread.
