Spinach and Feta Grilled Cheese
A quick and tasty grilled cheese sandwich packed with fresh spinach and creamy feta, perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough or artisan sandwich bread Any bread can be used, but sourdough or artisan bread gives the best flavor.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped Make sure to squeeze out excess water from the cooked spinach to avoid a soggy sandwich.
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, which usually takes 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cool slightly.
Assembly
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side, layer mozzarella cheese, the sautéed spinach mixture, crumbled feta, and more mozzarella.
- Top it with another slice of bread, making sure the buttered side is facing out.
Grilling
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Grill each sandwich for about 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Serving
- Slice the sandwich in half and serve warm. It goes great with tomato soup or a side salad.
Notes
You can add other ingredients like sliced tomatoes or olives for different flavors. This sandwich can also be made with goat cheese or a mixture of different shredded cheeses for a unique taste. Alternatively, you can switch out spinach for kale or other leafy greens.
