Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
• 4 slices Slices of bread
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.75 cups Cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Place the broccoli florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.

Step 4

While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the yogurt-mustard sauce on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.

Step 6

Layer the roasted broccoli and cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sauce-covered bread slices. Top each with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outward.

Step 7

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and then slice in half. Serve warm and enjoy your broccoli-packed creation!
