Next, you prepare the rhubarb compote. Chop the rhubarb and cook it with honey and a pinch of salt. As it cooks, the rhubarb becomes tender and sweet. Adding lavender gives it a floral note that lifts the whole dish.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rhubarb Compote: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, 1 tablespoon of honey, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender. Stir in the dried lavender and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Make the Blackberry Balsamic Reduction: In another small saucepan, combine the blackberries, balsamic vinegar, and the remaining tablespoon of honey. Cook over medium heat, mashing the blackberries lightly with the back of a spoon. Simmer for about 6–8 minutes until it thickens and reduces to a syrupy consistency. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve if desired to remove the seeds.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Grilled Cheese: Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer slices of brie, a generous spoonful of rhubarb compote, and a drizzle of blackberry balsamic reduction. Top with the other slices of bread, buttered side out.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sandwich: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add the sandwiches and grill until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Make sure the cheese is melted and gooey.

  5. 5

    Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice diagonally, and drizzle a bit more blackberry balsamic reduction over the top. Optionally, garnish with fresh lavender sprigs for an aromatic finish.
