Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 4 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
Vegetables
- 1 cup fresh spinach (washed and dried)
Butter and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic and set aside to infuse the flavors.
- Spread Cream Cheese: If using, spread a thin layer of cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread to add extra creaminess.
- Assemble Sandwiches: On two slices of bread (cream cheese side up if applied), evenly layer the crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, and fresh spinach. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the filling.
- Form Sandwich: Top with the remaining slices of bread (cream cheese side down if applied) to make two sandwiches.
- Apply Garlic Butter: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on the outside of each sandwich to ensure a golden, flavorful crust.
- Grill Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the skillet, pressing gently with a spatula. Grill each side for 3–4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
- Serve: Remove from heat, slice each sandwich in half, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- You can add thinly sliced tomato or roasted red peppers inside the sandwich for extra flavor.
- Swap sourdough for gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option.
- Using cream cheese is optional but adds extra creaminess to the sandwich.
- Pressing the sandwich gently while grilling helps the cheese melt evenly and the bread crisp nicely.
