Gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches - perfect for a quick dinner

I love a good grilled cheese sandwich. Crispy, toasty buttery bread hugging melty cheese - that's my kind of easy comfort food.

Add spinach and feta and you've got a spanakopita grilled cheese sandwich.

Hi my name is Jacqueline and I'll take one of these every day for the rest of my life, please thanks bye.

If you've eaten and loved spanakopita, which a delectable little Greek dish with spinach and feta wrapped + baked in paper-thin flaky phyllo pastry, then you'll probably like this and it's easy energy.

And if you love grilled cheese sandwiches as much as I do, and also trying new things, this feta and spinach grilled cheese sandwich is for you.

feta, mozzarella and spinach

Ingredients for this recipe

  • Fresh spinach: It wouldn't be a spinach grilled cheese without this - but I would use fresh spinach. I haven't tried this with frozen spinach but it can be kind of soft and stringy so I probably wouldn't try it for this recipe.
  • Feta cheese: Try just the mozzarella cheese if you dislike feta
  • Bread: Besides the spinach and feta, you'll need bread (and mozza). Use your favorite bread. Sourdough would be good I think. Gluten free would work as long as it fries up crispy.

Recipe Tips

EXPERT TIP: Crumble your feta cheese a few minutes ahead of time and let it sit on a cutting board or paper towel to get rid of the excess moisture.

Instructions

  • Butter the bread.
  • Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add a handful of spinach to the frying pan and saute for a few minutes, until it softens. Once the spinach has reduced in size, add feta and give a quick stir, to start the feta melting. Remove and set in a bowl.
  • Place one slice of bread, buttered side down in the frying pan. Add mozzarella cheese and then the spinach and feta mixture. Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
  • Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until browned. Flip and cook on the other side for 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Serve hot.

Notes – Crumble the feta cheese and let air dry before using. 
Substitutions – Skip the feta if you don't like it.

Recipes FAQs

How do you make a grilled cheese without butter?

To omit butter when making a grilled cheese sandwich, you can either spread the bread with mayo or spray or drizzle oil in your frying pan.

What are some ways to spice up a grilled cheese?

To make a grilled cheese sandwich more interesting or have gourmet grilled cheese energy try mixing up the fillings. Use pizza toppings, different meats, sauces, cheeses, and vegetables. To make a grilled cheese spicy add sriracha or chili paste like sambal oelek inside your sandwich.
