Grilled Cheese on Rosemary Bread with Sauteed Kale

Easy Sunday Lunch!

Prep: 5 min

Cook: 5-1o min

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

4 Slices of rosemary bread from local bakery
4 slices of provolone cheese
Butter or butter substitute like Earth Balance
1 tsp Zestybeandog Fine Herb Blend
1 Bunch of kale, chopped (remove stem).
1 Garlic clove, minced
1 Shallot, minced (or 1 TBS shallot).
1 TBS Olive oil
1 Lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Heat 2 large skillets on med high.
Butter bread and place 2 slices of provolone in between, grill until golden brown on each side and sprinkle with ZBD herb blend.
While cooking grilled cheeses: Add olive oil to other skillet and saute garlic and shallots for 30 sec, add kale and lemon juice and cook for about 5-10 min, salt and pepper at end (a pinch of each).
If you are feeling saucy and want to take your grilled cheese to the next dimension… add a pinch of black truffle salt (a decent quality salt) to the grilled cheeses!

Enjoy!

I love kale and am always looking for new things to do with it. The trick is making kale dishes my wife likes! And I want to take this grilled cheese to the next dimension!

  I love kale too! Not everyone likes it all that much but I find the lemon really transforms it 🙂 I like your style!!!! Personally, I think taking the grilled cheese to the next dimension is ALWAYS best, but ONLY with a quality salt, I was at Central Market the other day and their “truffle salt” was a very poor excuse for truffle salt…. Savory Herb and Spice Shop and Marx Foods has some quality versions 🙂 thanks for the comments!

I love kale! Actually, come to think of it, all of my friends love kale too but then it’s a good thing to like. I’d like some of that grilled cheese right now!
