Veggie Toastie

Ingredients:

(Makes 2 sandwiches)

4 slices of whole wheat bread
Tbsp butter
Two or three types of sliced vegetables (e.g. tomato, carrot, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, zucchini, squash, sweet potato)
4 thin slices of cheese
Optional fillings: avocado, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, herbs


Instructions:

1. Cover one side of each bread with butter.

2. Grill the vegetables, roast in the oven, or pan-fry using a bit of butter or oil for several minutes.

3. For each sandwich, place buttered side of bread down onto the grill/ panini press/ hot pan. Load on the roasted veggies and cheese, and then cover with the other piece of bread.

4. Cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat, flipping so that both sides of the bread are browned.

5. Put in optional fillings if desired. Avocado is great in my opinion!!

Enjoy!
