For a richer flavor, use aged Irish white Cheddar. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spice. The braised greens can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or rye. Don't overcrowd the skillet when grilling the sandwiches, cook in batches if necessary.
