Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Steam the broccolini in a pot of boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the white cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Melt

    Spread a layer of sun-dried tomato pesto on the inside of each hoagie bun. Layer the steamed broccolini on the bun, followed by pouring the cheese sauce over the top.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with Balsamic Reduction

    Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the cheese sauce before closing the hoagie bun.

  5. 5

    Grill the Hoagies

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the assembled hoagies for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the buns are crispy and golden.
