Spinach and Feta Grilled Cheese
Description
This sandwich starts by sautéing minced garlic and frozen chopped spinach in olive oil until the moisture evaporates, concentrating the flavor. Butter is spread on one side of each bread slice, then the sandwich is assembled with layers of shredded mozzarella, crumbled feta, the cooked spinach, more mozzarella, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for mild heat. The sandwiches are grilled over medium-low heat until the bread is crispy and golden, and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
The combination of mozzarella and feta creates a creamy yet slightly tangy cheese filling, complemented by the savory spinach and subtle garlic aroma. The grilled exterior contrasts nicely with the soft interior, making it a satisfying handheld meal or snack.

- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil $0.08
- 1 clove garlic $0.08, minced

Instructions
- Add the olive oil and minced garlic to a skillet. Sauté over medium heat for about one minute, then add the frozen spinach (no need to thaw), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to sauté over medium until most of the moisture has evaporated from the skillet.
- Spread butter over one side of each of the slices of bread. Flip the bread over so the buttered side is facing down as you build the sandwiches.
- Divide half of the shredded mozzarella between two slices of bread. Top the mozzarella with the crumbled feta.
- Divide the cooked spinach between the two sandwiches, then top with the remaining shredded mozzarella and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Top each sandwich with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low. Once hot, add the sandwiches and cook on each side until golden brown and crispy on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside.
- Cut the sandwiches in half and serve!
