Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 slices White sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Roughly chop the spinach leaves and set them aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Use a fork or a hand mixer to combine the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Fold the chopped spinach into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
Lay the slices of white sandwich bread on a clean, flat surface. Lightly butter one side of each slice.
Spread an even layer of the spinach mixture (about 2-3 tablespoons) on the unbuttered side of 4 slices of bread.
Top the filling with the remaining 4 slices of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches to create clean edges.
Cut each sandwich into quarters, forming small triangles or rectangles, as desired.
Serve immediately, or store covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
