Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or rustic white bread work best)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich

1. Prepare the Spinach Mixture

In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and chopped spinach. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the spinach softens. Add garlic powder and black pepper for extra flavor. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Assemble the Sandwich

Take two slices of bread and spread butter on one side of each slice. On the unbuttered side, layer shredded mozzarella, sautéed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

3. Grill to Perfection

Heat a pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

4. Serve and Enjoy

Remove the sandwich from the pan, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious Mediterranean flavors!
