Description
This spinach feta grilled cheese is a delicious Mediterranean twist on the classic sandwich. Perfectly golden on the outside and filled with warm, melty feta and sautéed spinach for an easy lunch or light dinner.
Ingredients
2 slices whole grain bread
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp unsalted butter (for spreading)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté spinach in a splash of olive oil for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and garlic powder.
Butter one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered sides, layer the sautéed spinach and crumbled feta.
Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered sides out. Grill for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Once the cheese has melted and the bread is toasted, remove from heat, cut, and serve warm.
Notes
You can substitute whole grain bread with sourdough or rye for a different flavor.
Add a slice of mozzarella or provolone for extra meltiness.
For a spicy kick, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes with the spinach.
To make it vegan, use plant-based butter and vegan feta alternatives.
