BETTER-FOR-YOU GOURMET GRILLED CHEESE

1/2 onion, thinly sliced

1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)

2 c kale, thinly chopped and packed tightly

2 slices reduced-calorie whole-grain bread (with no more than 50 calorie per slice)

2 sliced reduced-fat pepper jack OR provolone cheese

Liberally coat a skillet with nonstick cooking spray, add the onion, and saute over med-high heat until caramelized, 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

Add the garlic and kale to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until kale has wilted significantly, about 2 minutes.

Preheat the broiler and toast the bread.

Divide the kale mixture evenly between the two slices of toast. Add a slice of cheese on top of the veggie mixture and pop under the broiler until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.

Cut each slice in half and enjoy open-faced.
