Brie and Blueberry Waffle Grilled Cheese
Two crisp buttermilk waffles sandwiching a blueberry compote with melted brie – the perfect grilled cheese for breakfast!
Did you know that April is National Grilled Cheese Month?! We’re coming to a close in April but I just had to share this grilled cheese with you in honor of this glorious, celebratory month. Yes, grilled cheese does in fact call for a celebration.
I’m usually so behind on food holidays (I think I might have skipped over Easter!) but I actually made two different kinds of grilled cheeses for this month’s issue of Wisconsin Cheese’s Grate. Pair. Share. Magazine. This waffle grilled cheese is my absolute favorite of the two, which is why I’m sharing it first! So let’s break down this sandwich.
You have a waffle bread base sandwiching brie and a homemade blueberry compote, which then gets grilled to cheesy, melted ooey-gooey goodness. And you can’t forget about that maple syrup drizzle either. I mean, seriously, is there anything better for breakfast? Although I’d have no problem gobbling this up for dinner with a side of applewood smoked bacon!
A huge thank you to Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board for including me in your magazine. You know I’ll take any opportunity to feast on homemade grilled cheese!
Brie and Blueberry Waffle Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups blueberries

Wow! Why have I been eating my waffles with butter, syrup and fruit on top? I could have been making a fantastic grilled wafflewich!
Made these for Christmas brunch –everyone raved about them! I used fresh waffles, brie and blueberries like the recipe calls for but then also added bacon and syrup inside. Damn delicious for sure!
Brilliant!! This idea is genius! I make my own waffles though since I cannot eat wheat but bree and blueberries melted in between waffles…heavenly! These were so satisfying and comforting on a cold November morning! Thank you.
Love everything here!!!
Absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much – a totally unexpected mouth sensation.
Excellent when entertaining for brunch.

I made these tonight for dinner, and they were beyond amazing. I used frozen waffles, thawed. I put butter directly on them much like I do with bread when making a grilled cheese. Can’t wait to try with other fruit, and maybe goat cheese. Thanks for the recipe….Did I mention how easy it was too? So yummy.
Can you sub the blueberries for any berry? Specifically blackberry?
Yes, feel free to substitute blackberries.
Do you use homemade or frozen waffles for this recipe?
You could use either!
