Little did I know that picking up my boyfriend's issue of Men's Health would lead to my favorite sandwich ever. My variation on their suggested riff on grilled cheese includes a small pile of lightly fried zucchini and wilted kale to bulk up a few salty hits of anchovy that melt into a mild backdrop of gooey cheese. Dipped in an herbed egg mixture and then fried, this is a delicious hybrid between grilled cheese and savory French toast. Caramelized onions or sauteed mushrooms elevate this sandwich to new heights, but this is the fairly simple version I tend to gravitate towards. Just be judicious when layering the zucchini--the more packed your sandwich is, the harder it is to handle during the dipping process.
