Roasted Vegetable Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Description
The Roasted Vegetable Grilled Cheese Sandwich uses a medley of summer vegetables that are roasted with dill, salt, and pepper until slightly tender, adding a subtle herbal note and softness. These are layered with creamy, mild dill Havarti and rich Gouda cheeses between thick bread slices generously buttered on the outside for a golden, crisp crust.
Cooked on medium-low heat, the sandwich develops a satisfying browned exterior while melting the cheese inside, mingling with the roasted vegetables to deliver a harmonious taste and texture contrast. The sandwich makes a rich vegetarian lunch or light dinner option that is both comforting and flavorful.
Leftover sandwiches can be kept warm wrapped in foil for a few hours or refrigerated and reheated in a pan or toaster oven to maintain crispness and melted cheese. The recipe is flexible to accommodate different cheese or vegetable substitutes.
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini sliced
- 1 yellow squash sliced
- 1 eggplant sliced
- 1 red pepper sliced
- ¼ cup red onions sliced
- olive oil spray form
- ½ teaspoon dill
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 lices bread thick
- 4 ounces havarti cheese divided, dill flavor
- 4 ounces gouda cheese divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the vegetables with olive oil spray and dill and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until vegetables are slightly tender.
- Brush the melted butter on one side of the bread slices.
- In a large cast iron skillet or electric griddle over medium low heat, place one slice of bread on the skillet, buttered side down. Add half the Dill Havarti cheese on top of the bread, then layer with half the roasted vegetables, followed by half the Gouda cheese. Top with a bread slice, buttered side up.
- Cook grilled cheese sandwich until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 4-6 minutes on each side. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Notes
- Enjoy the sandwich immediately for best texture, or keep wrapped in foil at room temperature for a couple of hours.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days; reheat in a pan or toaster oven for melted cheese.
- Feel free to substitute other vegetables or cheeses as desired; the recipe is adaptable to preferences.
- One serving is one whole sandwich containing about 4 ounces of cheese.
