Make

Warm broccoli briefly in the microwave.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Soften butter briefly in the microwave, 5 to 10 seconds.
Assemble sandwiches by buttering one side of each piece of bread. Place half of the bread slices buttered-side down on a clean work surface. Spread each slice with some harissa mayonnaise and top with cheese and broccoli. Add remaining bread slices, buttered-side up.
Cook sandwiches until bread is golden brown and filling is warm and bubbly, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
While sandwiches cook, toss mixed greens and grapes with vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
Serve sandwiches with salad on the side. Enjoy!
