Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
  2. ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  3. 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  4. 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
  5. 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  6. 1 tablespoon sliced black or Kalamata olives
  7. 4 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
  8. 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

  • Wilt the Spinach:
    • Place the chopped spinach in a microwave-safe bowl.
    • Microwave on high for about 45 seconds, until wilted.
  • Prepare the Filling:
    • To the wilted spinach, add mozzarella, feta, ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives.
    • Mix until well combined.
  • Assemble the Sandwiches:
    • Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly onto two slices of bread.
    • Top each with the remaining bread slices.
    • Butter the outer sides of each sandwich.
  • Grill the Sandwiches:
    • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat.
    • Place the sandwiches in the skillet, buttered side down.
    • Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
    • Press gently with a spatula while cooking for even grilling.
  • Serve:
    • Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, add more feta or use Kalamata olives for a bolder taste.
  • For a crispier texture, increase the cooking time slightly, but be careful not to burn the bread.
