1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 bunch (about 8 oz) kale, thick stems removed and leaves shredded
8 slices whole grain bread
8 slices Swiss or Gruyère cheese (about 8 oz total)
Olive or canola spray oil

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add garlic and kale. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook about 5 minutes or until kale is very soft, stirring frequently.

Arrange 4 bread slices on a work surface. Top each with one slice of cheese. Divide cooked kale evenly among slices, spreading kale to an even layer. Top each with an additional slice of cheese and bread. Spray both sides of each sandwich with oil.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add 2 sandwiches and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted, pressing flat with a spatula occasionally. Serve immediately.
