Broccolini (Or Broccoli) Cheddar Melts

Submitted by Ilysse

"You can use either the broccolini or broccoli crowns. We also thought asparagus would be nice with this. If you have it, you can use a comercial dijon/mayo mixture. Otherwise, its easy enough to mix them yourself. I got 6 open faced sandwiches out of this on homemade rye bread. Our bread might not be sized the same as store bought so this may make a difference in the serving size. I don't think I could have gotten more out of it but I could have piled more of the broccolini on the bread and made 4, just so you know. I hope you like these. We had them for dinner with Bacon, Avocado & Tomato Salad recipe #161428, this would also make a nice lunch, especially for company."

This was great, I made 3 tiny changes but I think I kept the essence of the recipe. I used rapini, whole wheat bagettes and added an italian sausage. Great, filling recipe! Thanks!
