I thought of this sandwich recipe last night when I couldn't fall asleep. I knew I had broccoli, bread, and cheese in my fridge, so I made a veggie grilled cheese sandwich! I didn't cook the garlic with the other veggies, so the taste was still strong and added a nice garlic bread taste to the sandwich :)
Even though bread is not ideal for the diet, my mom and I have found that if you use whole wheat (vs. white), it doesn't do much harm, especially later in the diet.
Recipe:
(Creates 1 Serving)
1 handful of chopped broccoli
4 grape tomatoes, each cut in half
2 slices of cheddar cheese
Salted butter
1 handful of chopped yellow onions
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 slices of whole wheat bread
Salt
Directions:
Sauté the broccoli and onions in a pan greased with butter.
In the meantime, prepare the garlic and tomatoes.
Butter the 2 slices of bread on one side. Place one cheese slice on each bread slice.
When the broccoli and onions have been cooked to your liking, put them on top of one of the slices of bread and cheese. Add the chopped tomatoes and garlic.
Then put the other piece of bread and cheese on top, so that both cheese sides are in the middle.
Fry the sandwich for about a minute or so on both sides, in a pan greased with butter.
Plop it onto a plate, and enjoy!!
I'd recommend dipping the sandwich in Pace Salsa before each bite, but I unfortunately did not have any salsa at the time. It would have been even more amazing with salsa though!
