Greek Style Grilled Cheese (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Fresh Vegetables & Herbs
01 -
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
→ Cheese Blend
02 -
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
03 -
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
04 -
2 tablespoons creamy ricotta cheese
→ Mediterranean Flavors
05 -
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, drained and diced
06 -
1 tablespoon Kalamata or black olives, thinly sliced
→ Bread & Butter
07 -
4 slices artisan whole grain bread
08 -
2 tablespoons creamy butter, softened
# Instructions:
01 -
Place the chopped spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds until leaves are nicely wilted. Mix in the mozzarella, crumbled feta, ricotta, diced sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced olives until everything is well combined into a creamy, flavorful mixture.
02 -
Generously spread the Mediterranean cheese mixture across two bread slices, then place the remaining slices on top to create sandwiches. Butter the top surfaces of both sandwiches evenly.
03 -
Warm a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat without adding any oil. Place sandwiches butter-side down in the pan, then spread the remaining butter on the exposed tops. Cook each side for about 2 minutes until the bread turns beautifully golden and the cheese melts completely. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling, then slice diagonally and serve while hot.
# Notes:
01 -
These sandwiches taste absolutely incredible when enjoyed fresh and hot right off the skillet, though they'll keep well in the refrigerator for up to a day.
02 -
For storage, wrap cooled sandwiches in an airtight container and refrigerate for no more than 24 hours to maintain quality.
03 -
To reheat and restore that perfect crispy texture, warm the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or pop it in an air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
