Make
- Heat oven to 500F / 260C.
- Spread brussels sprouts out onto a sheet pan. Cover tightly with foil and then ‘steam’ for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove foil and toss brussels sprouts with oil. Roast for another 12 to 16 minutes, until outside leaves are brown and crispy.
- While brussels sprouts cook, heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then chard to heated oil. Saute until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and remove from heat.
- Next butter one side of each piece of bread with about 1/2 Tbsp / 7g of butter / slice. Lay out bread buttered-side down. Layer with cheese, cooked chard, jam, another slice of cheese and top with bread, buttered-side up. Continue until all sandwiches are made.
- Heat up a griddle or a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches onto heated surface (as many as can fit) and press down throughout the grilling process with a spatula. Flip once the first side is golden, ~ 3 to 4 minutes.
- When brussels sprouts are done, toss with jam, balsamic vinegar, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice grilled cheeses in half and enjoy with roasted brussels sprouts.
