Description

This Mediterranean Grilled Cheese recipe puts a delightful twist on the classic comfort food. Filled with a savory mixture of cheeses, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives, this grilled cheese is a flavor-packed treat that’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Spinach Cheese Mixture:

  • 1 cup chopped spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheese of choice
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sliced black or Kalamata olives

Additional Ingredients:

  • 4 slices whole grain bread or crusty bread of choice
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Making the Spinach Cheese Mixture: Microwave spinach in a medium bowl for about 45 seconds until wilted. Add mozzarella, feta, ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. Mix well.
  2. Assembling the Sandwiches: Spread the mixture onto two slices of bread and top with the remaining slices. Spread butter on top of each sandwich.
  3. Grilling: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet, cooking until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes per side. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • I recommend enjoying the sandwiches fresh for the best taste, but they can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a skillet or air fryer until warmed through.
