Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- On a sheet pan, mix the chopped broccoli, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast the mixture for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the unbuttered side of half of the bread slices, layer cheddar cheese generously.
- Add the roasted broccoli on top of the cheese, followed by more cheddar cheese.
- Top each with another slice of bread, ensuring the buttered side is facing out.
- “Grill” the sandwiches in the skillet, turning them over once. Cook until the cheese melts and the bread is evenly toasted.
- If using gluten-free bread, feel free to substitute as necessary.
Notes
- Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet for the best texture.
- Freezing: You can freeze the ungrilled sandwiches. Wrap them tightly and store in the freezer for up to a month. Grill them directly from frozen.
- Pairing: This sandwich goes wonderfully with a light salad or a warm bowl of tomato soup for a classic combination.
- Variations: Try adding different roasted vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for additional flavor and nutrients.
- Garnishing: Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, to enhance flavor right before serving.
- Spice It Up: For a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes or a slice of jalapeño inside the sandwich before grilling.
