Ingredients:

3 cups broccoli
210g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
1 tbsp salted butter
14g
8 slices whole-wheat bread
200g
1 cup cheddar cheese
110g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the broccoli.
2. Prepare the Broccoli:
- In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Roast the Broccoli:
- Spread the seasoned broccoli florets out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred at the edges.
- Once done, remove the broccoli from the oven and set aside.
4. Prepare the Bread:
- While the broccoli is roasting, butter one side of each slice of whole-wheat bread using the softened butter.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Place four slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface.
- Distribute the roasted broccoli evenly over these four slices.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the broccoli.
6. Top the Sandwiches:
- Cover each with one of the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
7. Grill the Sandwiches:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
- You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately while hot and gooey.

Tips:

- Make sure to evenly coat the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper for maximum flavor.

- Roast the broccoli until it's tender and slightly crispy for the best texture.

- Use good quality cheddar cheese for a rich, melty finish.

- Butter the outer sides of the bread to achieve a golden, crispy crust when grilling the sandwich.

- Grill the sandwich on medium-low heat to ensure the cheese melts evenly without burning the bread.

Perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner, this dish is sure to please both your taste buds and your nutritional needs.
