👩‍🍳 Directions

Prepare the Bread

Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.

Add the Jam

Flip two slices over (unbuttered side up) and spread blackberry jam evenly across them.

Layer the Cheese

Arrange brie slices over the jam.

Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top if using — it adds a subtle earthy flavor that balances the sweetness.

Assemble

Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outward.

Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula.
