# Ingredient List:

→ Dairy

03 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
04 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

09 - Pinch of salt

# Directions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
02 - Add chopped spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted (about 2 minutes). Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a bowl, combine sautéed spinach with crumbled feta and mozzarella. Mix well.
04 - Lay out bread slices. Evenly spread the spinach-feta mixture over 2 slices, then top with remaining bread slices.

07 - Remove, let rest 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The melty mozzarella balances the tangy feta perfectly, creating the most satisfying cheese pull
  • It comes together in about 20 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy café
02 -
  • Medium low heat is your friend here, high heat will burn the bread before the cheese has time to melt through
  • Squeeze excess moisture from the spinach after sautéing if it seems especially wet, otherwise your bread will get soggy
03 -
  • Use a box grater to shred your own mozzarella instead of buying pre shredded, it melts so much better
  • Let your butter sit at room temperature while you prep the filling so it spreads easily without tearing the bread
