Toasted Slaw & Cheese!

Hey Everyone,

Simple and Delicious!
I don't know if anyone has ever tried these but I found the recipe a few weeks back and it has been screaming fix me ever since!  Days have come and gone where the simplest of a toasted cheese sandwich has stuck with me as something I haven't had in a while.  As most Fridays go, I wanted something easy and fast and the fridge seemed to be barren of anything remotely resembling a left over meal.  Its time had come.

For ease in preparation, I did purchase a ready - made slaw mix and found the one Kroger's carries with the kale to have worked quite well.  Yes Rick, you did eat kale and loved it!  Nobody spill the beans on that one, our little secret!

Ingredients:

1 cup coleslaw mix per sandwich, no dressing.  The pre-packaged one with kale blended flavors quite well with the Havarti cheese.
Sprouts - Optional
1- 2 slices of Havarti cheese per sandwich
Sourdough bread - thick slices
Honey mustard
Margarine

Directions:

Mix together the slaw mix and sprouts if using.  I left the sprouts off as I didn't have any fresh in the jar and wasn't sure which ones would provide the best mix of flavor with the kale.

Spread margarine on the outside of sandwich slices.  Spread the opposite side with a light covering of honey mustard.  Place the slaw mixture on top of the honey mustard and top with Havarti cheese.

Skillet grilling on medium heat took about 2 - 2 1/2 minutes per side for the cheese to melt thoroughly and the butter to brown.

Dinner was delicious..........  Does anyone have some ideas what type of side dish would go well with this?

Happy Gardening,
