Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the broccoli.
- In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- 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.
- While the broccoli is roasting, butter one side of each slice of whole-wheat bread using the softened butter.
- 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.
- Cover each with one of the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
- 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.
- 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.
With minimal ingredients and an easy-to-follow process, this roasted broccoli and grilled cheddar cheese sandwich is a delightful way to enjoy a classic comfort food with a healthy twist. Perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner, this dish is sure to please both your taste buds and your nutritional needs.
