Courgette Sandwich Recipe

A vibrant medley of fresh ingredients packed between two slices of Hovis® Tasty Wholemeal. The courgette, thickly sliced and tender, pairs beautifully with crisp lettuce, sweet onion, and melting mozzarella. A light spread of mayo and butter adds richness, while a sprinkle of salt and pepper ties everything together. Simple yet flavourful, this sandwich brings a burst of taste in every bite.

Made with Hovis® Tasty Wholemeal Medium Sliced

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes (per pancake)

Serves 1

Ingredients

2 Slices of Hovis® Tasty Wholemeal Medium Sliced
1 Courgette thickly sliced
2 Lettuce leaves
1 Half an onion (sliced into strips)
100g Mozzarella cheese
2 Teaspoon of mayonnaise
1 Teaspoon of oil
½ Tablespoon of butter
Salt and black ground pepper

Tip

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the courgettes cook evenly and brown nicely, rather than steaming and becoming mushy. You can also swap mozzarella for cheddar cheese!

Method

Slice the courgette into thick, angled pieces about 1 centimetre wide. Heat some oil in a frying pan and cook the courgette slices for 3 minutes on each side. Once the courgette is tender but still firm. Fry the onions, then, remove from the pan and set aside.

Someone uses a knife to cut a courgette on a wooden chopping board, near a kitchen sink. An extra courgette can also be seen on the chopping board.

Butter the frying pan and toast the slices of Hovis® Tasty Wholemeal Medium Sliced bread until golden brown. While the bread is toasting, slice the cheese. Once the bread is toasted, flip it over, place the cheese on the toasted side, then cover the pan and cook until the cheese has melted.

A knife is near a block of mozzarella cheese on a wooden chopping board. Some smaller pieces of the cheese have already been cut and are placed on the side.

Once the cheese has melted, place the slices on a plate. On one slice, spread a layer of mayonnaise, then top with the sliced courgettes, onions and two lettuce leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then enjoy!
