Balsamic Brussels Sprouts Grilled Cheese

Ingredients
1/2 lb. Brussels sprouts, stems removed and chopped or shredded (I tossed them in the food processor)
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
balsamic glaze 
havarti cheese, sliced
8 slices sourdough bread
softened butter for spreading

Directions
Heat a large skillet oven medium heat and add olive oil. Toss in shredded Brussels sprouts and garlic with salt and pepper, tossing to coat. Cook until wilted and golden, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove sprouts from the skillet and place them in a bowl.

Heat a skillet oven medium-low heat. Butter the outsides of every bread slice, then layer the sandwiches with slices of cheese, the Brussels sprouts, a good drizzle of balsamic glaze and more cheese. Top off with a slice of bread, buttered-side up. Cook until each side is golden and crisp and cheese is melted, then gently flip and do the same.

Makes 4 small sandwiches.
