Prepare the Filling:
- Start by preparing the coleslaw-like filling for the sandwich. In a large bowl, combine the grated carrot, finely chopped red bell pepper, instant oats, mayonnaise, red chili flakes, and dried oregano.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference.

Assemble the Sandwich:
- Take one slice of whole wheat brown bread and spread a generous tablespoon of the prepared filling evenly over it.
- Place another slice of bread on top to form the sandwich.

Grill the Sandwich:
- Preheat a sandwich maker or grill pan. Add half a tablespoon of butter to the heated surface and place the sandwich on it.
- Spread the remaining butter over the top slice of bread.
- Grill the sandwich until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side, ensuring the filling is warm and slightly melted.
