CLEAN EATING GRILLED CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place peppers in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on High until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, combine beans, salsa and salt in a medium bowl. Mash the beans with a fork until they begin to form a paste (some can remain whole). Combine cheese, yogurt, scallions and cilantro in a small bowl.
• When the peppers are cool enough to handle, slice each one in half lengthwise and remove the stem and seeds.
• Heat a panini maker to high. (No panini maker? See Stovetop Variation, below.)
• Spread 1/3 cup of the bean mixture on each of 4 slices of bread. Top with a heaping tablespoon of the cheese mixture. Place 2 pepper halves over the cheese. Cover with the remaining slices of bread.
• Grill the sandwiches in the panini maker until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Cut in half and serve immediately.
• Stovetop Variation: Place four 15-ounce cans and a medium skillet (not nonstick) by the stove. Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 sandwiches in the pan. Place the medium skillet on top of the sandwiches, then weight it down with the cans. Cook the sandwiches until golden on one side, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the sandwiches, replace the top skillet and cans, and cook until the second side is golden, 1 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with another 1 teaspoon oil and the remaining 2 sandwiches.

Steps:

• Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Preheat to 425 degrees F. Line one large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place cauliflower in a food processor. Process until finely grated. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and microwave on High for 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and wring out excess moisture. Return to the bowl and stir in Cheddar, egg, pepper and salt until thoroughly combined. Using about 1/4 cup of the cauliflower mixture for each, create eight 3-inch squares on the prepared baking sheet.
• Toss pepper and onion with oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake the cauliflower squares and the vegetables, switching the pans in the oven halfway through, until the cauliflower is browned and crispy around the edges and the vegetables are soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large nonstick skillet; heat over medium heat. Chop the peppers and onions. Place about 1/4 cup pepper mixture and a slice of cheese on one cauliflower "toast." Top with a second cauliflower "toast." Repeat with the remaining cauliflower toasts, vegetables and cheese. Cook, turning once, until the cheese is melted, about 4 minutes total.
