# Ingredient List:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 cup broccoli florets, cut into small pieces
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - Pinch of salt
04 - Pinch of black pepper
→ Cheese
05 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (approximately 3.5 ounces)
→ Bread
06 - 4 slices hearty sandwich bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat
→ Other
07 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
# How to Make:
01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F.
02 - Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
03 - While the broccoli roasts, grate the cheddar cheese.
04 - Butter one side of each bread slice.
05 - Once broccoli is roasted, assemble the sandwiches by placing two bread slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Top each with half of the cheddar, then an even layer of roasted broccoli, and then the remaining cheddar. Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up.
06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
07 - Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
08 - Remove from skillet, let rest 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.
