Blueberries and melted cheeses toasted between buttered golden bread for a quick sweet-savory sandwich.
# What You Need:
→ Bread & Spreads
01 - 4 slices brioche or country bread
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
→ Cheese & Fillings
03 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 3.5 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 2.8 ounces fresh blueberries

# How-To Steps:
01 - In a small mixing bowl, gently combine fresh blueberries with honey and lemon zest, if using.
02 - Evenly spread cream cheese on one side of each bread slice using a butter knife.
03 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over two bread slices, directly atop the cream cheese.
