Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough or rustic bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Fresh mozzarella
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.25 small Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread butter thinly on one side of each bread slice. This will be the outer side that crisps up when cooked.
Step 3
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and the red onion into paper-thin slices.
Step 4
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the unbuttered side of two bread slices.
Step 5
On each mustard-covered slice, layer 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese and 2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese.
Step 6
Top the cheese with a few tomato slices, a handful of spinach leaves, and a few slices of red onion.
Step 7
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered sides facing out.
Step 8
Add the olive oil to the skillet or griddle and swirl to coat evenly.
Step 9
Carefully place the sandwiches into the skillet or griddle. Press them down gently with a spatula or a heavy pan to achieve even browning.
Step 10
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 11
Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute before slicing in half and serving.
