Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 4 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Steam or microwave the broccoli florets until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix the chopped broccoli with shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until evenly combined.
Butter one side of each sourdough bread slice using the softened butter.
Lay two of the bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface or plate. Evenly distribute the broccoli and cheese mixture on top of the unbuttered side of these slices.
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the filling, buttered side facing up, to create sandwiches.
Preheat your sandwich press according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Carefully place the sandwiches into the preheated sandwich press. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the press, let them cool for a minute, and then slice them in half if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, cheesy broccoli delight!
