Steps:

• Set a medium skillet over medium heat. When hot, add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add in the spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until the spinach is wilted. Transfer spinach onto a paper-towel-lined plate. The paper towel will help soak up the moisture from the spinach.
• To the same pan add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes.
• To a medium bowl add the cooked spinach, shallots, chopped artichoke hearts, shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese. Mix together until blended. Taste and season with desired amount of kosher salt and pepper. Brush remaining olive oil onto one side of each slice of bread. Flip the bread over and cover two slices with equal parts of the spinach artichoke filling. Top with remaining slice of bread (leaving the oiled sides out).
• To cook on a panini press: Heat your panini press to medium-high. Add sandwich to press. Let cook slowly until the outside of the bread is golden brown and the inside is melted and warm, about 10 minutes.
• To cook in a skillet: Wipe out saute pan and place over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook, pressing sandwich with the bottom of a spatula and carefully flipping every couple of minutes, until golden on both sides and melted through.
