Ingredients




4 slices sprouted wheat bread
2 slices low fat swiss cheese
4 ounces mushroom, sliced
4 cups kale, chopped
1 tablespoon thyme, minced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Preparation

1 Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add mushrooms and cook 3 – 5 minutes until tender. Add kale and thyme and cook another 2 – 3 minutes to lightly wilt kale. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 2 Spread 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard over one slice of bread. Layer ham and Swiss cheese, then half the mushroom and kale mixture. This will pile on, but that’s what you want. 3 Top sandwich with another slice of bread and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray. Place the slide with cooking spray down on a panini grill, then lightly spray the other side of the bread with cooking spray. 4 Grill 4 – 5 minutes until cheese melts and bread is toasty brown. 5 Repeat with remaining ingredients.
