Ingredients
1 ounce Gouda cheese (smoked gouda; grated) |
1/4 cup chopped Broccoli, raw (steamed, or if frozen, thawed) |
1/3 Tbsp. Reduced fat sour cream |
2 slice Whole wheat bread (or gluten-free whole grain bread) |
1 tsp. Olive oil (divided) |
Instructions
Place the cheese mixture between the slices of bread and pat down gently until firm.
Place a griddle over high heat.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil to the hot griddle and spread with a spatula.
Place the sandwich on the griddle. Adjust the heat so that the sandwich browns but does not burn.
After about 6 minutes, add the other 1/2 teaspoon olive oil to the griddle.
Turn the sandwich over and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes.
Serve immediately.

I like using olive oil for my grilled cheese sandwiches. It makes the sandwiches easier to cook. Butter browns and burns at a much lower heat than olive oil, so the oil is more forgiving. Don’t use your best extra virgin oil as it will burn.
There are a lot of great variations on this cheese sandwich, and you can use lots of different flavors, like pimento cheese, curry, or chili powder, to complement the umami of the cheese.
