Instructions
Making Zucchini Grilled Cheese is simple and fun! Follow these steps for a delicious sandwich:
1. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and slice the zucchinis into thin rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
2. Sauté Zucchini: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil or a little butter. Add the zucchini slices and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Butter the Bread: Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread to ensure a golden crust.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread in the skillet, buttered side down. Layer half of the cheese on top, followed by the sautéed zucchini, and then the remaining cheese. Finally, top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
5. Grill the Sandwich: Cook in the skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.
6. Serve: Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute before slicing the sandwich in half.
