Category: Lunch, Main Dish
Yield: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1¼ cups fresh broccoli florets, diced small
  • 3 oz (about ¾ cup) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ⅛ tsp paprika
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 slices sourdough or other hearty sandwich bread
Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic and saute until translucent and softened, about three minutes. Add broccoli, paprika, and cayenne and cook until broccoli is tender-crisp, about five minutes (cook longer if you like softer broccoli).
  2. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar. Remove to a bowl and wipe out your skillet.
  3. Over medium-low heat, heat the other tablespoon of olive oil. Spread broccoli-cheese mixture on one slice of bread and top with the other slice. Cook until bread is browned and cheese is completely melted (about two minutes), then flip and cook on the other side for another minute. Serve immediately.
