Description

This Mediterranean Spinach Grilled Cheese is a deliciously fresh twist on a classic sandwich featuring fresh spinach, creamy mozzarella, and tangy feta cheese, grilled to golden perfection on sourdough bread. It’s a quick and satisfying meal perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (approximately 30g)
  • 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella cheese (about 60g), sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 40g)

Seasoning and Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on your counter for easy access before starting to ensure smooth preparation.
  2. Mix Spinach Filling: In a bowl, combine fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking to prepare for grilling the sandwich.
  4. Assemble Sandwich: On one slice of sourdough bread, layer the sliced mozzarella cheese, then spread the spinach and feta mixture evenly on top, followed by another layer of mozzarella. Cover with the second slice of bread.
  5. Grill Sandwich: Place the sandwich in the hot skillet. Grill each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Press down gently with a spatula occasionally to ensure the cheese melts well and the sandwich holds together.
  6. Serve: Remove the grilled sandwich from the skillet, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh mozzarella for the best melt and creamy texture.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • For a crispier sandwich, consider using butter instead of olive oil.
  • You can add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the spinach mixture for a spicy kick.
  • To make it vegetarian-friendly, ensure the bread and cheeses used contain no animal rennet if desired.
