Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 small Zucchini
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Wash and prepare the vegetables. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, cut the zucchini into thin rounds, and slice the red onion thinly. Mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion to the skillet. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of bread.
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet.
Top the bread with half of the mozzarella cheese, followed by the sautéed vegetables, and then half of the cheddar cheese. Place another slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press lightly with a spatula to help the sandwich hold together.
Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for 1-2 minutes, then cut into halves or quarters. Serve immediately and enjoy!
