Equipment

Ingredients

1 loaf Challah bread sliced
8 ounces full-fat cream cheese room temperature
1 cup Monterrey Jack cheese freshly shredded
1 cup Cheddar cheese freshly shredded
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 cup fresh broccoli florets chopped
4 Tablespoons butter room temperature
2 Tablespoons flat-leaf Italian parsley chopped
3 cloves roasted garlic minced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet, and set it aside.
Slice the Challah into ½-inch slices. (Feel free to slice them thicker, if desired.)
1 loaf Challah bread
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, Monterrey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper, and mix until smooth.
8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, 1 cup Monterrey Jack cheese, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, Salt to taste, Black pepper to taste
Fold in the broccoli, coating it completely with the cream cheese mixture.
1 cup fresh broccoli florets
In a separate bowl, combine the butter, Italian parsley, roasted garlic, salt, and pepper.
Salt to taste, 4 Tablespoons butter, 2 Tablespoons flat-leaf Italian parsley, 3 cloves roasted garlic, Black pepper to taste
Spread 2 teaspoons of the butter mixture on one side of each piece of bread.
Layer 2-3 tablespoons of the broccoli cheese filling on the other side. Top it with a second piece of bread, leaving the buttered side exposed to create a sandwich.
Repeat until all the bread has been used.
Arrange the sandwiches in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space in between.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is nice and toasted.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
