- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey

- Butter the Bread: Generously butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place two slices of bread butter-side down in the skillet, layer with brie and spoonfuls of the blackberry mixture. Top with more brie and remaining bread slices (butter-side up).
