SAUTEED CHARD + GRUYERE GRILLED CHEESE

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 4 leaves of swiss chard, stem removed and thinly chopped
• 1/3 cup fresh grated gruyere
• 1/4 cup fresh grated mozzarella
• 1 heaping tablespoon finely minced shallot
• 4, ½’’ slices fresh whole grain bread
• roughly 1/4 cup thinly sliced apple such as braeburn, honey crisp or pink lady
• 1 1/2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• sea salt 

Directions:

While preparing the sandwiches, start preheating your cast iron or grill pan over medium heat.

Combine both grated cheeses and the finely chopped shallot.

On two slices of the bread, divide the mustard and spread to all edges of the bread. Lay two to three slices of thinly sliced apple on top. Divide the shredded cheese on top of the apple slices in an even layer. Lastly, divide the sautéed greens on top of the cheese and top with the remaining slice of bread.

Drizzle olive oil on the top, an optional sprinkle of sea salt and put it in the pan, oiled side down. Cover with a press if using and cook for two minutes. Drizzle oil on top and flip the sandwich over, cook for another two minutes until the cheese is melted through.

Cut in half and serve warm.
