Ingredients

2 slices bread, hearty options like French or sourdough
½ cup sliced grilled zucchini
½ cup sliced grilled red pepper
fresh arugula
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Instructions

Build sandwich

Spread mayonnaise on one slice of bread. Stack with red pepper slices, grilled zucchini and a handful of arugula. Add the sesame seeds. Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, pressing gently to hold it all together.

Grill the sandwich

Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Lightly butter the outside of the sandwich, grill for 2 minutes per side until the bread turns a crispy golden brown. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Pack for work

When the sandwich has cooled, slice it in half and pack it in a hard lunch container. For added freshness, keep any sides like fruit, veggie sticks, or chips in a separate compartment or container.
