Feta Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Spinach

Feta Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Spinach

A classic grilled cheese gets a fresh and flavorful upgrade with the addition of creamy feta and tender spinach. This sandwich is a perfect blend of salty, tangy, and earthy flavors. It’s quick, easy, and satisfying, making it an ideal lunch or light dinner option.

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread (your favorite type)
• 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Guide:

1. Prepare the spinach: Sauté spinach in a pan over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Assemble the sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a skillet over medium heat.
3. Fill the sandwich: Sprinkle half of the feta cheese evenly over the bread. Top with the sautéed spinach and the remaining feta cheese.
4. Grill the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread, buttered side up, on top of the filling. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of honey to the finished sandwich.
• Use a mixture of cheeses, such as cheddar and feta, for a more complex flavor profile.
• For a heartier sandwich, add a slice of tomato or avocado.
• If you prefer a crispier sandwich, use sourdough or whole wheat bread.
• To prevent the bread from burning, adjust the heat as needed.
