Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Ingredients:
- 4 slices sourdough or whole-grain bread
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Sauté Spinach: In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: Combine feta, mozzarella, sautéed spinach, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Place two slices butter-side down, divide cheese-spinach mixture, and top with remaining bread, butter-side up.
- Grill: Heat a skillet, cook sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra Mediterranean flavor.
- For a crispier crust, grill with a little olive oil instead of butter.
