Grilled Cheese and Vegetable Sandwich
I needed a dinner for the kids quick the other day and they wanted soup…I decided the perfect accompaniment would be grilled cheese. And as I was making their grilled cheese, it looked good! I rarely make grilled cheese for myself, so I decided to make a dressed-up version for my husband and I that night too. I have some beautiful veggies in the refrigerator, so I grabbed some of my favorites and decided to get creative 🙂
I used zucchini, squash, diced tomatoes, and mini sweet peppers. I figured the veggies could use a bit of extra flavor, so I seasoned them with Dust by VooDoo Chef Seasoning. You can use which ever seasoning you may have at home, or none at all!
I had the bread “grilling” in a separate pan and once the bread looked good, I added on the cheese. I had a chunk of Colby Jack at home, which so happens to be my favorite cheese, so I sliced it nice and thin and added it on. Once it started to melt, I topped it with my delicious smelling vegetables.
Doesn’t that look yum? I think I may have to make another one for lunch today!
