Spinach and Roasted Red Pepper Grilled Cheese

Print Recipe

A gourmet grilled cheese made with buttery sourdough bread, melted mozzarella, sautéed spinach, and sweet roasted red peppers, perfect for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
  2. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  3. On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer mozzarella cheese, sautéed spinach, and roasted red peppers. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
  5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
  6. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use smoked mozzarella or provolone cheese.
  • You can substitute spinach with kale or arugula.
  • Pressing the sandwich with a spatula or grill press helps achieve an even golden crust.
  • Serve with tomato soup for a classic pairing.
