Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices slices of bread (your choice: sourdough works great)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (Make sure to wash and chop your spinach beforehand)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional) (Can substitute with other cheese)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (For grilling and sautéing)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (Adds flavor to the spinach mixture)
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or fresh, if available) (Enhances the Mediterranean flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach Mixture
    In a small skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  2. Cook the Spinach
    Next, add the chopped spinach and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the mozzarella and feta cheeses.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich
    Take your slices of bread and spread a thin layer of olive oil on one side of each slice.
  4. Add Spinach-Cheese Mixture
    On the non-oiled side, generously spoon the spinach-cheese mixture onto one slice.
  5. Grill It
    Top with the second slice of bread, oiled side facing out.
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sandwich. Grill until the bread is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes, then flip and repeat until the other side is perfectly crisp and the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve and Enjoy
    Once both sides are crispy and golden, take it off the heat, slice it in half, and let your taste buds rejoice!
