Description
Crispy, cheesy, and a little bit sneaky—this Garlic Butter Zucchini Grilled Cheese sneaks veggies into gooey grilled goodness. Zucchini becomes the crisp “bread” in this low-carb, gluten-free twist that’s loaded with melty cheddar and savory garlic butter.
Ingredients
2 cups grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
1 large egg
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
¼ cup cornstarch
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp garlic butter (or regular butter + minced garlic)
1–2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make zucchini dough: In a bowl, mix zucchini, egg, Parmesan, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
Form squares: Divide the mixture into 4–6 mounds and flatten into bread-sized squares.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and firm. Let cool slightly.
Assemble sandwiches: Spread garlic butter on one side of each zucchini slice. Add cheddar between two slices (buttered side out).
Grill on skillet until cheese is melted and both sides are crispy golden.
Slice and serve hot!
