Grilled Mascarpone on Chocolate Cherry Bread with Blackberry Cabernet Compote #SundaySupper
Grilled Mascarpone on Chocolate Cherry Bread with Blackberry Cabernet Compote sounds like a mouthful and with good reason. It is incredibly decadent.
When #SundaySupper posted that Gallo Family Vineyards was sponsoring today’s post I felt like a first grader raising her hand screaming, PICK ME, PICK ME! I was so excited at the prospect of working with GFV. Who wouldn’t be?
I, actually, was so excited that I forgot the post was for a grilled cheese. Hmmm. I blogged my Grilled Nutella Banana Mascarpone Cheese not too long ago but wanted to make today’s grilled cheese worthy of Gallo Family Vineyards high standards.
It was easy to figure out the sandwich part of my Grilled Mascarpone on Chocolate Cherry Bread with Blackberry Cabernet Compote. The key was to buy (or make) the finest quality chocolate cherry bread possible. 
It is the Blackberry Cabernet Compote that elevates this grilled cheese to a whole new level. Gallo Family’s Cabernet Sauvignon combines the taste of blackberries and currants; so I decided that reducing the wine with fresh blackberries and sugar would complement the grilled cheese.
The end result is a dish that can be served anytime of the day and best of all is one that results in an exceptional dessert.
April is Grilled Cheese month. Celebrate it with your own Grilled Mascarpone on Chocolate Cherry Bread with Blackberry Cabernet Compote.

- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup Gallo Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
- 3½ tablespoons sugar
- chocolate cherry bread
- mascarpone cheese
- butter, melted
- For the blackberry cabernet compote:
- Place the blackberries, Gallo Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until the wine is nearly evaporated. Press the blackberries against the side of the pan as they cook.
- Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
- For the grilled mascarpone on chocolate cherry bread:
- Slice the bread into 1” pieces. Spread a thick layer of mascarpone on one slice of bread. Cover with a second slice of bread.
- Place the sandwich in a pan. Brush melted butter on the bread, turn over and brush butter on to the second slice of bread. Cover and cook over medium heat until the bread is nicely browned. Flip the sandwich and cover the pan. Cook until nicely browned.
- Remove the sandwich from the pan and slice it in half. Spoon some blackberry cabernet compote over the sandwich or serve on the side and dip the sandwich into the compote.
- Betsy's tidbits:
- The blackberry cabernet compote recipe accommodates 4-6 sandwiches.
- The blackberry cabernet compote works beautifully with chicken and pork dishes, too. Also sponge cakes, pound cakes and cheesecakes.
- If you are not able to find chocolate cherry bread, feel free to substitute your favorite decadent bread. Brioche or challah would, also, be delicious.
