Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce. Strip thyme leaves from stems; finely chop leaves. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine berry compote and half the thyme (save remaining thyme for another use). Microwave until warmed through, 30 to 60 seconds. Set aside until ready to use. Lay out half the bread slices on a clean work surface. Divide cheese between bread. Close each sandwich with remaining bread. Heat 2 TBSP butter and a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Carefully add sandwiches and cook, gently pressing with a spatula or heavy-bottomed pan, until cheese melts and bread is golden, 2-4 minutes per side, adding 1 TBSP butter when flipping. (Work in batches if necessary, adding more butter if needed; lower heat if browning too quickly.) Halve each sandwich on a diagonal. Serve with berry thyme dipping sauce on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Seemed silly to order cheese sandwich makings, but thanks to HF for sending just enough for 2 complete sandwiches so no leftover loaf of bread or package of cheese that may or may not get eaten. And the berry thyme dipping sauce was the "icing on the cake". We have a drive-thru here in town that does excellent grilled cheese paninis and this one was right up there too!
This sauce made the sandwiches so good was unbelievable. I wish you would give out this berry thyme dipping sauce with all the grilled cheese sandwiches because they are not good without this. This sauce is exceptional!!
Berry thyme dipping sauce was great!! Never used a dipping sauce for grilled cheese so was definitely something different
We enjoyed these recipe for Grilled Cheese. Not the old run of the mill version.
Really enjoyed this, thyme took longer to prep than I expected.
The sandwiches were a good snack. I even ate a half for breakfast!
Again, the filling seemed skimpy as the bread slices make a large sandwich. We needed more cheese and more of the dipping sauce to really fully enjoy the flavors.
Need cheese slices, a bit more cheese, and more flavorful cheese. Butter both sides of bread, not just in pan. Sauce was pretty good but had a bit of a fakey, intense, overly sweet flavor. Like had grape juice, corn starch, and corn syrup or other additives when all you really need is berries, sugar, lemon juice, and maybe gelatin.
The shredded cheddar cheese makes it difficult to make the sandwiches because it falls out while cooking. Slices of cheddar cheese would make this better. The Berry Thyme sauce was very tasty!
Maybe not use shredded cheese? Made it difficult to keep the cheese in the sandwich
