Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch (8 oz) fresh kale, ribs removed, torn into bite-size pieces (6 cups)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 8 slices whole wheat artisan bread, 1/2 inch thick
  • 4 tablespoons hot pepper jelly
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced, torn into small pieces
  • Cooking spray

Steps

  • 1
    In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Cook shallot in oil about 3 minutes or until softened. Add kale and salt; cook about 3 minutes or until wilted. Add water; cook 2 minutes longer, adding more water if needed. Set aside.

    Heat panini grill to medium-high setting. Arrange bread slices on work surface. Spread jelly evenly over one side of each slice of bread (about 1 1/2 teaspoons each). Divide kale mixture evenly among 4 slices of bread; top each with one-fourth of the mozzarella cheese pieces. Gently press remaining bread slices on top of kale, jelly side down. Spray both sides of sandwiches with cooking spray.
