Instructions

• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for roasting the broccolini to perfection.
• Step 2: In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped broccolini with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the broccolini on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and the stems are tender. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
• Step 3: While the broccolini is roasting, spread softened unsalted butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will create a beautiful golden crust when grilled.
• Step 4: On the unbuttered side of half of the bread slices, layer shredded or sliced cheddar cheese, followed by the roasted broccolini. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
• Step 5: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
• Step 6: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delightful Roasted Broccolini Grilled Cheese with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
