Grilled Greens and Cheese on Toast image

Pile charred Halloumi cheese, kale, and cherry tomatoes onto grilled bread rubbed with garlic for an almost-instant summer dinner. Or, you can skip the bread and treat the same ingredients as a side salad to go alongside grilled meat.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill and drizzling
1 large or 2 small bunches Tuscan kale, stems removed
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
6 oz. cherry tomatoes
1/2 lb. Halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2" planks
1 lemon, halved crosswise
4 thick slices country-style bread
1 large garlic clove, peeled, halved
Special Equipment
2 (8"-12"-long) metal skewers

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Oil grate. Toss kale with 2 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Thread tomatoes onto skewers, then drizzle with oil; season lightly with salt.
  • Grill tomato skewers, Halloumi, and lemon halves, turning skewers and cheese halfway through, until charred and softened, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
  • Meanwhile, drizzle bread with oil; season lightly with salt. Grill until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Rub one side of each slice with halved garlic clove.
  • Grill kale, placing it crosswise across grate so it doesn't fall through the gaps and turning occasionally, until charred in places and softened throughout, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to platter alongside Halloumi, tomatoes, and bread.
  • Push tomatoes off skewers. Squeeze charred lemon halves over Halloumi, tomatoes, kale, and bread. Drizzle with oil.

I made this for lunch today and it was so good! I used a mix of spinach, kale, and arugula, and sharp cheddar cheese. The lemon zest really brightened up the flavor. I'll definitely be making this again!

Not bad! I thought the flavors worked well together, but I found the toast got a little soggy. Next time, I'll try toasting the bread more thoroughly before adding the toppings.
