Equipment
- griddle
Ingredients
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 3 TBSP green onion chopped (or shallot chopped)
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts thinly shredded
- 1/4 tsp salt fine
- pinch black pepper
- olive oil cooking spray or a mister
- 4 slices Tuscan whole wheat bread (or your favorite fresh bakerey bread)
- 6 slices Havarti cheese
- 2 Granny Smith apples ⅛-inch-thick slices
Instructions
- Heat a skillet on medium heat, and add olive oil and green onion*(see notes) until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Throw in Brussels sprouts, salt and a pinch of black pepper, and turn heat up to medium-high. Stir Brussels sprouts until cooked and crispy on the edges. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat a griddle, or skillet to medium heat. Spray one side of your 4 slices of bread and place 2 slices on the griddle, oil side down.
- Place 2 slices of Havarti cheese on each slice of bread, 1/4 cup of the Brussels sprout mixture, a layer of apple slices, 1 slice of cheese on top of apples (to make a total of 3 slices per sandwich), and place the other slice of bread on top of each to make two sandwiches.
- Cook the sandwiches on one side, about 4-5 minutes, until cheese is melted and the bottom slice of bread is toasted and lightly browned. Flip the sandwich carefully with a spatula, oil side down. Cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Serve hot!

Notes
*Green onions: can be substituted for a shallot instead. Chop shallot and cook the same as the green onions.
