Instructions: Preheat broiler. Steam broccolini until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and pat dry.

Broil bread on baking sheet until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side.

Spread top side of each bread slice with mustard-flavored mayonnaise. Top each with onion slice, broccolini and cheese. Broil until cheese melts and browns, about 2 minutes.

This recipe yields 2 servings;

can be doubled.

Comments: A relatively new item in the produce section, broccolini is a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale. It has a milder, sweeter taste than broccoli. Buy German potato salad, and braise red cabbage to serve warm with the open-face sandwiches. Gingerbread and chunky applesauce make a perfect finale.
