Ingredients

1 (13.5 oz) can lima beans, rinsed
8.75 oz cherry tomatoes, halved

Sandwich each slice of cheese between 2 slices of bread. Lightly coat with oil then toast in sandwich press for 5 mins, or until golden.
Remove bacon mixture from oven. Add parsley and toss to combine. Season. Serve bacon mixture with grilled cheese.
