Ingredients

• 2 cups brussels sprouts, shredded
• 1 tbl olive oil
• salt and pepper
• ¾ cup shaved smoked gouda
• 4 thick slices of boule
• 3 tbl butter, divided in half

Directions

• shred brussels sprouts either by hand, or carefully with the aid of a mandoline (I used a knife and made short work of it).
• heat olive oil just until smoking in a large cast iron, or shallow heavy-bottomed skillet. add shredded brussels sprouts and cook until browned in spots and sautéed through, about 2 minutes. remove to a small bowl, set aside, and wipe out pan.
• spread slices of bread out. on two halves, add sautéed brussels sprouts and top with cheese (splitting full amounts between both sandwiches). cover with remaining two pieces of bread.
• heat 1½ tbl butter to melt over medium-low heat. add sandwiches to pan and cook until bottoms have evenly browned, maintaining a medium-low heat. if desired, use an additional heavy pan as a weight on top of the sandwiches to expedite the process and ensure even cooking. remove sandwiches to a plate. melt the remaining 1½ tbl butter and add sandwiches back to pan, uncooked side down. heat an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
