Feta Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Spinach is a grilled sandwich that blends Greek-style feta cheese with fresh spinach. This sandwich boasts a crispy exterior and a soft interior, with the savory taste of cheese and the freshness of spinach intertwining to deliver a layered sensory experience.

👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

  • 2 slices of whole-grain bread

  • 4 ounces of feta cheese, cubed

  • 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves, washed and drained

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 teaspoon of minced garlic (optional)

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut the feta cheese into small cubes and wash and drain the spinach leaves.

  2. Assemble Sandwich: Spread an even layer of feta cheese on one slice of whole-grain bread, then scatter the washed spinach leaves over it. Sprinkle with a little salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, add a bit of minced garlic for flavor.

  3. Heat: Pour olive oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat until both sides are golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the spinach is tender.

  4. Serve: Remove the sandwich, let it cool slightly, and enjoy.
