These broccoli-cheese melts combine crisp-tender broccoli with a layer of melted cheese inside two crispy pieces of bread for a sandwich that’s rich and creamy. These 20-minute cheese melts are the ultimate comfort food—satisfying and packed with that cheesy goodness everyone loves. We crisp up these sandwiches on the stovetop, but if you have a sandwich press, you can use that instead.
4 cups finely chopped fresh broccoli florets
3 tablespoons water
2½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon salt-free Italian seasoning
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt
4 slices crusty whole-wheat bread (about ⅓-inch thick), divided
¾ cup shredded fontina cheese, divided
