Chipotle Butternut Squash Grilled Cheese

It is so hard to get Jaxon (my 10 year old ) to eat veggie so i have to make up recipes hope you enjoy

 

 

Ingredients

• 1 cup butternut squash puree*
• 1 teaspoon chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeds removed (unless you want a LOT of heat, in that case, leave them in), chopped
• 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Bread of your choice
• 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, sliced or whatever cheese you like
• Butter

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together butternut squash, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, kosher salt, and pepper.
2. Lay down the bread slices and, using a butter knife, spread ¼ cup butternut squash mixture on one side of each sandwich. Lay the pepper jack cheese evenly over the top of the chipotle butternut spread and close the sandwich.
3. Generously butter the outside of each sandwich on both sides.
4. In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, cook the sandwiches, flipping often, until golden-brown on the outside and the cheese is melted inside, about 10 minutes.
5. Serve immediately.

* To make the butternut squash puree, slice a butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place cut side down on a large baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, until fork-tender. Scoop out the soft, cooked squash and puree in a food processor or blender.
