Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup packed fresh spinach
- 0.25 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small grated garlic clove
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, grated garlic, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread using 1 tablespoon of butter per sandwich. Set aside.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Remove spinach from the skillet and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
To assemble the sandwiches, place one slice of bread butter-side down on a cutting board. Layer half of the cheese mixture, half the wilted spinach, and half the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to rest for 1 minute before slicing them in half. Serve warm and enjoy the Grecian flavors!
