Spinach Cheese Grilled Sandwich Food

GRILLED SPINACH-ARTICHOKE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine half of the onion, the vinegar and a pinch of salt in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until hot; set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining onion and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add the artichokes and heat through, 4 minutes. Stir in half of the spinach and cook until wilted, 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the asiago, goat cheese, mayonnaise and the remaining spinach.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Sandwich the spinach-artichoke mixture between the bread slices. Brush the sandwiches with olive oil and add to the grill pan. Grill 3 minutes per side. Let rest 2 minutes; cut in half.
• Drain the reserved onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then add the tomatoes, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste; toss. Serve with the sandwiches.

FOUR-CHEESE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix butter and garlic in a small bowl until well combined. Spread 1/2 of the butter onto one side of each slice of bread; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat; stir in spinach and giardiniera. Saute until spinach is wilted and mixture is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Place 1 slice of bread, buttered-side down, into one side of the warm skillet. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in the other side of the skillet. Place mozzarella slices in the skillet and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Place mozzarella slices on top of the bread in the skillet. Repeat with the provolone, Asiago, and Fontina slices.
• Add spinach mixture and tomato slices to the skillet, adding more oil if necessary, and cook until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Place spinach mixture on top of the cheese, followed by the tomatoes and the remaining slice of bread, buttered-side up. Flip the sandwich and cook until browned and cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes.

SPINACH & CHEESE GRILLED SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix spinach, swiss cheese, parmesan cheese, mayonnaise and mustard until well blended.
• Spread on bread of your choice, I prefer rye.
• Add 2-3 slices crisp bacon (to save time, I sprinkle bacon bits on instead).
• Butter bread and toast on hot griddle.
• Serve with chips and a pickle.

SPINACH RICOTTA GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, spinach and scant 1/2 teaspoon salt. Saute until the spinach has completely wilted. Transfer the spinach to a strainer set over a bowl. Cool to room temperature. When the spinach is cool enough to handle, squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Roughly chop the spinach and add it to a medium bowl. Add the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
• Lay the sliced bread on a clean work surface. Coat the top of each slice with butter. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lay 4 of the slices in the skillet, butter-side down. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the ricotta mixture onto each slice. Spread the mixture evenly to cover the whole slice, then top with the other slices of bread, butter-side up. Cook until the first side is golden and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melty, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the sandwiches to a clean work surface and let them cool for 1 minute before slicing.

• Turn stove on to medium heat, and add tomatoes to outside edges of pan, and add spinach to center.

• cook tomato just until it gets a little soft, but do not wait until it gets mushy.
• Cook spinach until slightly wilted.
• Take both out when they are done and set aside.
• Wipe pan out with towel, and heat on medium.
• Butter one piece of bread as you would for a regular grilled cheese sandwich.
• Put bread in pan, and place cheese on top and then place spinach and tomato on top of the cheese.
• Allow to heat.
• Butter the other piece of bread, and fry sandwich until nicely browned on both sides.
• Remove and Serve!
