Smashed Broccoli Grilled Cheese Sammies
Take your grilled cheese up a notch y'all. Smashed & roasted broccoli seasoned with my new obsession, Primal Palate Meat & Potatoes seasoning. Dreamy cream cheese, aged Scottish ched for funk, aged marble for meltiness, and gorgeously golden sourdough.

- Preheat your oven to 425 F
- In the meantime, bring a pot of cold water to a boil. Once boiled, drop in your florets for 4 - 5 minutes maximum until bright green and on their way to being nice and tender. Strain the florets and once they've drained off well, add them to a mixing bowl with a good drizzle of EVOO, some of the meat & potatoes seasoning, salt, and cracked pepper. Toss to coat the florets and then transfer them in a single layer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Use a standard 8 oz drinking glass to gently smash the florets on the tray.
- Bake for 7 minutes, remove, flip carefully, and continue for another 6 - 7 minutes until they've developed a nice colour and are fully tender. Set the tray onto a wire rack as you prepare your sandwiches.
- Slather one side of each slice of bread with margarine. On the inside, start with a slathering of cream cheese on the bottom followed by some of the shredded marble. Divide the smashed broccoli between both sandwiches and then top with shredded aged Scottish ched and more marble.
- Heat a non-stick pan to just below medium. Get your sammies in the skillet and fry until gorgeously golden, flip, and continue until the other side is golden and crisp. Your cheese should be melty at this point.
- Remove from the skillet, slice in half and ENJOY!
Notes
- To be honest, my shredded cheese measurements are an approximate. I didn't measure unfortunately, but like, use as much yummy cheese as your heart desires lol
- It's imperative that the cheese be shredded for a good grilled cheese. It melts faster and ensures you don't overcook the outside waiting for the inside to melt. Also, shred your own cheese and don't use pre-shredded cheese.
