Delicious zucchini grilled cheese recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices Sourdough Bread
  • 1 medium Zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons Butter, softened
  • 2 slices Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the zucchini. Lightly salt the zucchini slices and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: Season the zucchini. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture lightly and evenly on both sides of the zucchini slices.
  3. Step 3: Grill the zucchini. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Grill the zucchini slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: Assemble the sandwich. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a clean skillet over medium-low heat. Top with one slice of cheddar cheese, the grilled zucchini slices, and the remaining slice of cheddar cheese.
  5. Step 5: Grill the sandwich. Place the other slice of bread on top, butter-side up. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately. Cut the grilled cheese in half and serve hot.

Notes

  • Leftover grilled zucchini is great on salads or pasta the next day, so grill extra while you're at it!
  • For best results, reheat in a skillet over low heat to re-melt the cheese without burning the bread.
  • Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping to brighten the flavor of the sandwich.
  • To prevent soggy bread, make sure to thoroughly pat the salted zucchini dry before grilling.
