Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup packed fresh spinach
- 0.25 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small grated garlic clove
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, grated garlic, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Step 2
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread using 1 tablespoon of butter per sandwich. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Remove spinach from the skillet and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
To assemble the sandwiches, place one slice of bread butter-side down on a cutting board. Layer half of the cheese mixture, half the wilted spinach, and half the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Step 6
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to rest for 1 minute before slicing them in half. Serve warm and enjoy the Grecian flavors!
