Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Multi-grain bread
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Arugula leaves
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Wash the zucchini and slice it into thin rounds about 1/8-inch thick.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini slices and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, fresh dill, and lemon zest until well combined.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
On two of the bread slices, layer arugula leaves and sautéed zucchini slices over the cream cheese layer.
Place the remaining bread slices on top, cream cheese side down, to complete the sandwiches.
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
