Cupboard Essentials

Instructions
- Grill the prepped veg using a griddle pan or BBQ, cooking over a high heat with rapeseed oil, until charred and cooked. Thinly slice into bite sized pieces and add to a large mixing bowl.
- Next, add the lemon juice, finely chopped basil, and a generous amount of salt and pepper into the bowl.
- Optionally butter the 2 slices of bread, before placing butter-side down into a non-stick frying pan on a low/medium heat. On one side of the bread, add the grated cheese and on the other, add the grilled veg.
- After around 3 minutes, flip the cheesy bread onto the other piece to close the sandwich, continue to heat, whilst flipping the sandwich until the cheese is melted and the bread is nicely toasted. Enjoy!
