Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Gluten-free whole grain bread
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or any gluten-free cheese of choice)
- 2 teaspoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 0.25 cup Baby spinach (optional)
Instructions
Place the two slices of gluten-free whole grain bread on a clean surface or cutting board.
If using Dijon mustard, spread it evenly on one side of one slice of bread.
Layer one slice of cheese on top of the bread with the mustard (or the plain bread if skipping the mustard).
Optional: Add baby spinach leaves on top of the cheese for extra nutrients and flavor.
Add the second slice of cheese on top of the spinach (or directly on the first slice of cheese).
Top the stack with the second slice of bread to form the sandwich.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Spread 1 teaspoon of butter on one side of the sandwich and place the buttered side down in the skillet.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
While the first side cooks, spread the remaining teaspoon of butter on the top side of the sandwich.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly before slicing in half and serving.
