Spinach and Feta Grilled Cheese Sandwich
This warm, melty sandwich balances bright baby spinach with salty feta and gooey mozzarella for a quick comfort lunch or simple weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices bread (any kind—sourdough or crusty sandwich bread gives better texture)
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach (packed) Wet spinach creates steam; pat it dry before using.
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese Adds salt and tang.
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Provides melt.
- 1 tbsp butter (softened for easy spreading) Can be swapped with olive oil or mayonnaise.
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a skillet over medium heat while you assemble the sandwich.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly, spreading close to the edges for full coverage.
- Place the slices buttered-side down. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the spinach first, then sprinkle the feta, then the mozzarella, and finish with the garlic powder.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up, and press lightly to compact the sandwich.
Cooking
- Place the sandwich in the preheated skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 3–4 minutes.
- Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes, until golden and the cheeses are melted.
- Remove from the pan, let rest 1 minute, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use thin, even butter on the bread. Swap ingredients such as adding sliced tomato or pesto for extra brightness.
