Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 slices slices of bread (your favorite kind; sourdough works wonders)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened for easy spreading)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for some heat

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and roughly chop the fresh spinach, squeezing out any excess moisture.
  2. In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste. If feeling spicy, toss in red pepper flakes.
Assembly
  1. Spread a layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Place two slices of bread butter-side down on a skillet, and add the spinach and feta mixture on top. Then, place the remaining two slices of bread on top, butter-side up.
Cooking
  1. Heat the skillet over medium heat, cooking the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Serving
  1. Slice the grilled cheese into triangles and serve hot, optionally with a side of tomato soup.

Notes

To keep the spinach crunchy, sauté it briefly if releasing too much moisture. Consider adding ingredients like roasted red peppers or olives for extra flavor. Patience is key to achieving a perfect golden crust.
