Serving Size   

Makes about 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

• 4 slices of your favourite bread
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
• 1/4 cup Nafsika’s Garden Cream Cheese style
• 1/2 cup Nafsika’s Garden Mozzarella Pizza Cheddar Shredded Style
• Vegan butter

Directions

1. Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). While the oven warms up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roast the Broccoli: In a bowl, toss the chopped broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the seasoned broccoli on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 5-10 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy. Once roasted, set the broccoli aside to cool.
3. Create the Cheesy Filling: In a small bowl, combine the Nafsika’s Garden Cream Cheese style and Nafsika’s Garden Mozzarella Pizza Cheddar Shredded Style. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until the cream cheese has softened and the shredded cheese is well incorporated. Gently fold in the roasted broccoli, ensuring an even distribution of flavours.
4. Build the Sandwiches: Lightly butter all four slices of bread. Lay the slices butter side down and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the roasted broccoli cheese filling onto the centre of each bottom slice. Place the top slices of bread on each sandwich, butter side facing out, to create a sandwich.
5. Bake to Perfection: Place both sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet and slide them into the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping the sandwiches halfway through the baking time. Keep an eye on them, and remove from the oven when the bread turns a golden hue and the cheesy filling has melted into creamy perfection.
6. Serve and Savour: Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the sandwiches from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before indulging in the sumptuous blend of flavours and textures. Each bite combines the richness of Nafsika's Garden plant-based cheeses with the earthy essence of roasted broccoli.
