Definitely give this quick toast with Mortadella, Camembert, and blueberry jam a shot. It’s all done in just 10 minutes which makes it perfect for a quick snack.
All you need to do for this sweety is to toast your bread, layer on some slices of camembert cheese with mortadella (or switch it up with prosciutto cotto for a milder taste), and top it off with a dollop of blueberry jam.
Believe me, you will be impressed by this simple but irresistible combination. And the best part? you will need only 5 minutes of your time to put everything together.
Let’s dive in and discover how you can enjoy amazing flavors without spending all your time in the kitchen.
🥘 Ingredients and Substitutes
- Bread slices. A solid bread like sourdough or ciabatta—it’s strong enough to handle all the toppings and won’t get soggy. A good crust and soft middle are key for that perfect crunch and chew.
- Butter. Ensure it’s room temp before you spread it, so it toasts evenly without burning. And if you’re feeling fancy, try a butter mixed with herbs or garlic for an extra taste.
- The cheese? Camembert is your best bet. It’s creamy, flavorful, and melts like a dream. Just remember to take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before you start. Brie is a fantastic substitute, offering a similar creaminess with a slightly milder flavor profile.
- For the jam, I used blueberry jam. It works great because it’s sweet but a bit tart, which goes really well with the savory stuff. But hey, feel free to play around with other flavors like fig, raspberry, or apricot. Just make sure it’s good quality or homemade for that extra flavor punch.
- Mortadella or prosciutto cotto. It’s really about what you’re in the mood for. Mortadella’s a bit richer and spicier, while prosciutto cotto is sweeter and milder.
👩🍳 Step-by-step Directions
Cut 4 slices of bread, not too thick, keeping in mind that we will stack them later.
Butter each slice of bread, and arrange the slices in the pan with the buttered side up. Cook over medium heat until the bread is browned on one side.
Then, flipped them over and slapped some cheese on two of the slices. Keep them on the heat until the other side browned up nicely.
Put the bread slices on the serving platter and spread the blueberry jam over the cheese, which has already started to melt a bit.
Next, layer slices of mortadella on top of the jam and top it off with another slice of bread.
Serve it warm with a nice, fragrant tea for a special breakfast treat.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Pairing it with a bowl of creamy tomato soup or a savory broth is another winner. That combo of warm soup and crispy toast is just the ticket for chilly days or when you’re in the mood for something cozy.
Another option is serving it together with a crisp salad with a light dressing. Toss in some mixed greens, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and nuts for crunch. The salad’s freshness and a bit of acidity are perfect with the creamy, savory toast.
And don’t forget the olives on the side. They add a nice sharpness that cuts through the cheese and meat, keeping your taste buds happy.

Notes
- While I’ve suggested mortadella or prosciutto cotto as the meat of choice for this recipe, feel free to experiment with other deli meats. Thinly sliced turkey or even smoked ham can work well too. The key is to balance the flavors to your liking.
- Don’t skip letting the toast rest for a minute or two after it comes out of the oven or off the skillet. This short waiting period allows the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to bite into without all the toppings sliding off.
