Really Grilled Cheese
1 teaspoon chopped hot or sweet pickled peppers
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 large flatbreads (such as flour tortillas, a pita pocket split in two, naan, etc.)
2-3 large chard leaves (or other greens, such as kale or spinach)
3 slices prosciutto or deli-sliced ham
3-4 slices provolone cheese
Olive oil cooking spray
Heat a grill or grill pan on high.
In a small bowl, combine the peppers and mustard. Use a fork to mash them into a paste. Spread the mixture over one side of one piece of flatbread.
Arrange the chard over the mustard, then top with the prosciutto and cheese. Top with the remaining flatbread.
Spritz the top of the sandwich with cooking spray, then place it (oiled side down) on the grill or grill pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until grill marks form on the bottom.
Reduce the heat on one side of the grill to the lowest setting. If using a grill pan, reduce the burner heat to low.
Spritz the top of the sandwich with cooking spray, then use a spatula to carefully flip the sandwich. If using a grill, move the sandwich to the cooler side. Close the grill and cook until the cheese is melted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Cut the sandwich into quarters to serve.
Serves two.
