A savory twist on classic grilled cheese with garlicky spinach, tangy feta, and melted cheese toasted to golden perfection.
# What You Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
02 - 1 garlic clove, minced
→ Dairy
03 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
04 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
→ Bread
06 - 4 thick slices country-style or sourdough bread
→ Seasonings
07 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
08 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
09 - Salt to taste
# How-to Steps:
01 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
02 - Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring continuously, until wilted, approximately 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach with crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
04 - Lay out all bread slices. Evenly distribute the spinach-feta mixture over 2 slices, then top each with a remaining bread slice to form 2 sandwiches.
05 - Spread softened butter evenly over the outside surfaces of each sandwich.
06 - Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, applying light pressure with a spatula, until bread achieves golden brown color and cheese melts completely.
07 - Remove sandwiches from heat and allow 1 minute resting time. Slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
