Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 100 grams Romano cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 50 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 5 leaves fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by spreading butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will help achieve a nice golden crust when toasted.
Step 2
Grate the Romano cheese and mix it with the cream cheese in a bowl until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 3
Thinly slice the tomato and roughly chop the fresh basil.
Step 4
Lay two slices of bread on a clean surface, butter side down. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese and Romano mixture on the unbuttered side of each bread slice.
Step 5
Top the cheese mixture with an even layer of fresh spinach leaves. Arrange the tomato slices on top of the spinach, followed by a few basil leaves.
Step 6
Cover the sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, butter side up.
Step 7
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside is fully melted.
Step 8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two before slicing them in half.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, cheesy fusion with fresh vegetables.
