For 13 portions

Ingredients

Preparation procedure

  • Slicing the zucchini Wash the zucchini and cut into thin lengthwise or round slices. Leave the skin on – it adds flavor and fiber.
  • Grilling the zucchini Brush the slices with oil, lightly salt and pepper. Grill or fry in a hot pan for 2–3 minutes on each side, until they soften and get golden stripes.
  • Assembling the sandwiches On each slice of bread place ham, a layer of warm grilled zucchini and cheese. Top with the other slice.
  • Toasting Insert into a toaster, contact grill or into the oven at 190 °C for 5–7 minutes, so the cheese melts and the bread turns golden. Serve immediately.

Total preparation time 18–22 minutes

Servings 2 sandwiches (2–3 people as a light meal)

Tips and variations

  • For a bolder flavor, spread the bread with a thin layer of Dijon mustard, pesto or herb butter.

  • Instead of ham try turkey breast, pancetta or smoked salmon; for a meatless version use slices of tomato and spinach leaves.

  • You can sprinkle the zucchini slices with a pinch of dried garlic or oregano before grilling.

Conclusion

Zucchini sandwiches are a safe bet when you want a quick, warm and balanced meal. Zucchini adds juiciness, cheese creaminess and ham protein – the perfect combination for lunch, dinner or a hearty snack. Serve with a simple salad and you’re done in a few minutes.
