Grilled Cheese Florentine
Report
This Grilled Cheese Florentine is a hearty vegetarian sandwich filled with baby spinach, diced tomatoes, red onion, and shredded mozzarella.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach packed, washed and dried
- ¼ medium red onion sliced very thinly
- 1 tomato diced (juices reserved)
- 1 small garlic clove minced finely
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (4 ounces before shredding)
- 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 lices whole grain bread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425.
- Combine the spinach, onion, tomato (and juices), garlic and mozzarella in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
- Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss again.
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray (or line with parchment). Place two slices of bread on the cookie sheet and top each with half the spinach mixture. Place the second slice of bread on top.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes or until the spinach is wilted and the bread is toasted. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until toasted on the second side.
- Transfer to a plate and include any of the filling that has fallen out.
Notes
- Choose a hearty whole wheat bread such as sourdough, rye, or pumpernickel. Soft breads such as white sandwich bread won't quite stand up to the filling
