Ingredients

• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
• 4 pieces Sourdough bread slices
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Steam or microwave the broccoli florets until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the chopped broccoli with shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until evenly combined.

Step 3

Butter one side of each sourdough bread slice using the softened butter.

Step 4

Lay two of the bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface or plate. Evenly distribute the broccoli and cheese mixture on top of the unbuttered side of these slices.

Step 5

Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the filling, buttered side facing up, to create sandwiches.

Step 6

Preheat your sandwich press according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 7

Carefully place the sandwiches into the preheated sandwich press. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Remove the sandwiches from the press, let them cool for a minute, and then slice them in half if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, cheesy broccoli delight!
