Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Spinach

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

Butter one side of each bread slice.
On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer feta cheese, sautéed spinach, and shredded mozzarella.
Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing out.

Step 3: Grill to Perfection

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy.
Flip carefully and cook the other side until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the pan, let cool slightly, then slice in half.
Serve hot with your favorite soup, salad, or a side of dipping sauce.

Notes

Use Good Bread: A sturdy, rustic bread works best.
Low and Slow Cooking: This prevents burning while allowing the cheese to melt properly.
Don’t Overstuff: Too much filling makes it harder to grill evenly.
Press Lightly: A gentle press helps crisp up the bread without squeezing out the filling.
