Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I've got to admit, there's something incredibly comforting about a classic grilled cheese sandwich. But let's face it, after the umpteenth time, even the most beloved comfort food can start to feel a bit dull. So, on a quest to reignite my love for this simple pleasure, I dove into the depths of the internet, and there it was - a recipe for a Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Intrigued, I decided to give it a go.

The original recipe was less than what I had hoped, so I tweaked it a bit and came up with what I think is the perfect combination.
Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich

1 c. fresh baby, spinach, leaves, chopped
½ c. shredded mozzarella cheese.
2 T. crumbled feta cheese
¼ c. ricotta cheese
2 T.
Melissa’s sun-dried tomatoes, drained, chopped
2 T. chopped
Kalamata olives
2 slices of rye bread
2 T. butter, softened

Wilt the spinach by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving it on high for 45 seconds. To this, add the mozzarella, feta, ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives, mixing until combined. Spread the cheese and spinach mixture, evenly onto one large slice of rye bread. Top with the remaining slice, generously butter the exterior, and grill over medium low heat until golden brown.

This looks so delish! I think I would actually prefer this combo of cheese since I love the flavor of feta. I can imagine it with a cup of tomato soup and I'd be set!

You continue your reign as GC Queen! All of that chopped up goodness really looks mouthwatering. And rye bread - yes!
