Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis (sliced into ½-inch rounds)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices thick sourdough bread
- 2 tsp olive oil (for brushing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and slice zucchinis into ½-inch rounds. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry.
- Preheat the Bread: Lay out bread slices and brush one side of each with olive oil.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On the non-oiled side of one slice, layer zucchini rounds generously, top with shredded cheese, and place another slice on top, oiled side facing up.
- Cook: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich until the bottom is golden brown (about 4-5 minutes). Press down gently with a spatula.
- Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the sandwich and cook until both sides are golden brown and cheese has melted (another 4-5 minutes).
- Serve: Let cool slightly, then slice diagonally and enjoy warm.
