Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 100 grams Romano cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 50 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 5 leaves fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by spreading butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will help achieve a nice golden crust when toasted.
Grate the Romano cheese and mix it with the cream cheese in a bowl until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Thinly slice the tomato and roughly chop the fresh basil.
Lay two slices of bread on a clean surface, butter side down. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese and Romano mixture on the unbuttered side of each bread slice.
Top the cheese mixture with an even layer of fresh spinach leaves. Arrange the tomato slices on top of the spinach, followed by a few basil leaves.
Cover the sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, butter side up.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two before slicing them in half.
Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, cheesy fusion with fresh vegetables.
