Golden, buttery grilled sourdough packed with gooey melted cheese, sautéed spinach, and tangy sun-dried tomatoes. This elevated twist on a classic comfort food brings bold flavor and beautiful texture to every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), drained and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Butter one side of each bread slice. Place 2 slices, buttered side down, on a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
  3. Layer with cheese, sautéed spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and more cheese if desired. Top with remaining bread, buttered side up.
  4. Grill 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  5. Slice and serve hot with a sprinkle of chili flakes or extra greens if desired.

Notes

  • Try with whole grain or gluten-free bread for dietary needs.
  • Use a panini press for even grilling.
  • Swap mozzarella with fontina or goat cheese for a unique twist.
  • Add a smear of pesto for extra flavor.
