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:
- Prepare the spinach: Sauté spinach in a pan over medium heat until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a skillet over medium heat.
- Fill the sandwich: Sprinkle half of the feta cheese evenly over the bread. Top with the sautéed spinach and the remaining feta cheese.
- 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.
