The Ultimate Loaded Veggie & Cheese Melt 🥪🧀

INGREDIENTS

• 4 slices of sourdough or ciabatta bread
• 4 tablespoons butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta (optional)
• 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms
• 1/4 cup caramelized onions
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
• 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
• Pinch of garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the Bread: Butter one side of each bread slice generously. This will help create that golden, crispy crust.
2. Mix the Spread: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and garlic powder. Spread this on the unbuttered side of two bread slices.
3. Layer the Fillings: On the spread side, start layering your sandwich: fresh spinach, roasted red peppers, avocado slices, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and the mixed cheeses.
4. Top It Off: Place the other slices of bread (butter side out) on top of the fillings.
5. Grill the Sandwich: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches in the pan and grill for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
6. Slice and Serve: Let the sandwich cool slightly, then slice it in half and serve with a side of chips, pickles, or a crisp salad.
