Pomegranate Reuben Melt

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: brioche buns, cheddar, mayonnaise and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fennel bulb in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the reuben and let it garden, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the butter lettuce along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a drizzle of olive oil and a final crack of pepper.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
