Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Butter for grilling
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well to create the filling.
Take two slices of bread and evenly spread the spinach-cheese mixture onto one side of each slice. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the filling for extra flavor.
Place another slice of bread on top to form a sandwich.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese has melted.
Repeat with the remaining sandwich, adding more butter to the skillet if needed.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for 1 minute, then slice diagonally and serve warm with your favorite dip or soup.
