Ingredients
  

  • 8 bread slices
  • 4 oz butter for bread slices

For the creamy vegetable filling

  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic minced
  • ½ cup chopped onions using red
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes or jalapeños, optional and adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 Libby’s Diced Carrot cup
  • 1 Libby’s Sweet Pea cup
  • 1 Libby’s Whole Kernel Sweet Corn cup
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese room temp or warm in microwave for 10 seconds
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded, or cheese of choice

Instructions
 

Make the vegetable sandwich spread

  • Drain each of Libby's Vegetable Cup and set aside.
  • In a pan add butter and once it melted add the onions and garlic. Saute until onions are soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the Italian seasoning, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper followed by veggies and cilantro. Give it a good mix and cook for 1-2 mins. Take it off the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, tomato ketchup, shredded mozzarella, and vegetable filling. Mix until well combined and divide it into 4 portions.

For the vegetable sandwich

  • Apply butter to both the bread slices facing up. Place one portion of the filling and spread it evenly. Top it with another bread slice. Apply some butter on top.
  • Heat a grill pan (or griddle) on medium flame and place the sandwich with the butter side down. Cook for 2 mins or until crispy and golden.
  • Apply some butter to the side facing up and flip to cook until golden brown.
  • When both sides have crisped up, remove on a cooling rack (this prevents the sandwich from being soggy).
  • Delicious, cheesy and filling Creamy vegetable sandwich is ready!! Cut into half and serve warm!

Notes

  • The veggie filling can be made ahead by a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Fresh or frozen veggies, will need more cooking time.
  • This sandwich can be served without grilling too but we like it crispy.
  • Add some greens to your sandwich to make it extra healthy and delicious.
  • Use the cooling rack to place the grilled sandwiches as it helps keep them crispy and prevents them from getting soggy from their own heat.
