Ingredients
  

4 slices of whole grain bread

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and kiwi), sliced

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or hand mixer to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this delicious spread aside for later use.

    Build the Sandwich: Take two slices of whole grain bread. Generously spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on the top side of each slice. Ensure even coverage for a delightful taste in every bite.

      Layer on the Fruits and Cheese: On one of the slices (cream cheese side up), evenly layer the sliced mixed fruits. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the fruits for a melty, cheesy contrast. Finally, place the second slice of bread on top, cream cheese side down, to complete the sandwich.

        Grill to Perfection: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and allow it to melt fully. Place your assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted to perfection.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once grilled, remove the sandwich from the skillet and slice it diagonally for easy serving. If desired, sprinkle fresh mint leaves on top as a garnish for an added touch of color and flavor. Enjoy your warm, sweet, and savory creation!
