Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese Recipe
A creamy, golden-brown Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese Recipe featuring sourdough bread, three cheeses, spinach, and artichokes for an indulgent yet comforting sandwich.
2 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread or preferred bread
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup cream cheese softened
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup cooked spinach fresh or frozen, thoroughly drained
- ½ cup artichoke hearts drained and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
Prepare the filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the red pepper flakes if desired. Incorporate the cooked spinach and chopped artichoke hearts, stirring until the mixture is evenly blended. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Assemble the sandwiches
- Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices on a clean surface, buttered side facing down. Distribute the spinach–artichoke mixture evenly across the unbuttered sides. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing upward.
Cook the sandwiches
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the filling is hot and melted.
Serve
- Remove from heat, slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately while warm.
