Ingredients
- 1 lb. broccolini
- 4 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 8 thick slices rustic bread
- 6 oz. aged cheddar, grated
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
- 1 beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest plus 2 tbsp. juice (from 1 lemon)
Directions

Preheat grill over medium-high. In a large bowl, toss the broccolini with 1 tbsp. oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 10 minutes.

Spread the mayo on one side of the bread slices. Divide the cheese, herbs and beefsteak tomato among 4 slices of bread; season. Top with the remaining bread, mayo side down. Brush the outside of the sandwiches with 2 tbsp. oil. Grill until the cheese melts and the bread is grill-marked, 2-3 minutes per side.

Chop the broccolini into bite-size pieces. In a large bowl, toss the broccolini with the cherry tomatoes, lemon zest and juice, and the remaining 1 tbsp. oil; season. Serve alongside the grilled cheese.
