Thick-cut bread layered with sautéed spinach, creamy feta, and melted cheese, toasted until golden and crispy on the outside.
# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
02 - 1 garlic clove, minced
→ Dairy
03 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
04 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
→ Bread
06 - 4 thick slices country-style or sourdough bread
→ Seasonings
07 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
08 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
09 - Pinch of salt
# Step-by-Step:
01 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, approximately 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sautéed spinach with crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed.
03 - Lay out all 4 bread slices. Evenly distribute the spinach-feta mixture over 2 slices, then top each with a remaining bread slice to form 2 complete sandwiches.
04 - Spread softened butter evenly over the outer surfaces of both assembled sandwiches.
05 - Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until bread achieves golden-brown color and cheese is fully melted.
06 - Remove sandwiches from heat, allow to rest for 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
