An idea of mine that stemmed from wanting a grilled cheese sandwich and then later thinking about broccoli and cheese and deciding to put them together, which came out very good!

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons butter, divided
¾ cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
¼ cup finely chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia®)
4 slices whole grain sliced bread
4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Distribute sauteed vegetables evenly on 2 slices of bread. Place 2 slices Cheddar cheese over the vegetables, season with garlic powder, and top with remaining 2 slices of bread.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, tilting the skillet to distribute the butter evenly as it melts. Place the sandwiches into the skillet and cook until the bottom piece of bread is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Melt remaining butter in the skillet. Carefully flip each sandwich, evenly coating the bread with melted butter. Cook until each sandwich is golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes more.

GRILLED GOAT CHEESE AND BROCCOLI SANDWICH



Grilled Goat Cheese and Broccoli Sandwich image

I've been finding all sorts of uses for finely chopped broccoli crowns lately (see my burgers from a couple of weeks ago). I make a broccoli and goat cheese spread for this sandwich. I briefly steam the broccoli, chop it finely and mash it with the goat cheese. Then I spread it on country bread, sprinkle with the nut and spice mix known as dukkah and top with the other slice of bread. The dukkah adds the surprise touch. You'll only use half the chopped steamed broccoli in one sandwich. But you'll want to use up the rest in another.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 broccoli crown (about 2 ounces)
1 ounce goat cheese (about 1/4 cup crumbled)
2 to 3 teaspoons finely chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley and marjoram (optional)
1 garlic clove, halved (optional)
2 slices whole-grain country bread
1/2 teaspoon dukkah (see recipe)
1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Steam broccoli for 4 minutes, until tender but bright. Rinse briefly with cold water and drain well on paper towels or kitchen towels. Chop fine and measure out 1/4 cup. Set aside remaining chopped broccoli for another sandwich or another dish.
  • Mash goat cheese in a bowl and add the 1/4 cup chopped broccoli and the fresh herbs if using. Mash together.
  • If desired, rub 1 slice of bread with a cut clove of garlic and then purée remaining garlic and stir into broccoli/goat cheese mixture. Spread goat cheese and broccoli over bread. Sprinkle with dukkah. Top with the other slice of bread (rub it with garlic if desired) and press down firmly. Drizzle remaining olive oil over top slice of bread.
  • Toast in toaster oven 3 to 4 minutes, until cheese has melted. Remove from toaster oven, press down firmly, cut in half and serve.
