Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
- 0.25 medium, thinly sliced Zucchini
- 0.5 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.25 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Sauté the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion for 2-3 minutes until softened. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto a clean surface or cutting board. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Layer the sautéed vegetables and fresh spinach leaves over the cheese.
Top with the remaining shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up.
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
