  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 eggplant, sliced
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • ¼ cup red onions, sliced
  • Olive oil spray
  • ½ teaspoon dill
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Sandwich

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 slices thick bread
  • 4 ounces Dill Havarti cheese, divided
  • 4 ounces Gouda cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat and roast vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, red pepper, and red onions with olive oil spray, dill, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until they become slightly tender and fragrant.
  2. Prepare the bread slices: While the vegetables roast, melt the butter and brush it generously on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden, crispy exterior during grilling.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Heat a large cast iron skillet or an electric griddle over medium-low heat. Place one slice of bread on the skillet, buttered side down. Layer half of the Dill Havarti cheese on the bread, then add half of the roasted vegetables evenly on top. Next, add half of the Gouda cheese over the vegetables. Finally, place a second slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing up.
  4. Grill the sandwiches: Cook the sandwich on medium-low heat until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese melts, about 4-6 minutes per side. Carefully flip to cook the other side evenly. Repeat the process for the second sandwich.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread to hold the fillings well and get a better crust.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs like thyme or oregano for dill based on preference.
  • Roasting the vegetables enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth to the sandwich flavor.
  • Use a cast iron skillet or a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
  • Adjust the roasting time if you prefer softer or crisper vegetables.
