Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 10 min | Total Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of rustic sourdough bread
• 1 cup shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained and sliced)
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Pinch of garlic powder (optional)
• Salt & pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions (Detailed):

1. Sauté the spinach:
   Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until wilted, then set aside.
2. Assemble the sandwich:
   Lay out your sourdough slices. Butter one side of each slice. On the unbuttered side, layer mozzarella cheese, sautéed spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Top with another slice (buttered side out).
3. Grill it to perfection :
   Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
4. Serve hot and melty:
   Let it rest for 1 minute before slicing to avoid all the cheese spilling out. Cut in half and serve warm.

Pro Tips:

• Bread swap: Try ciabatta or whole-grain bread for a different texture.
• Add a kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before grilling.
• Make it a meal: Pair with tomato soup or a simple side salad for a cozy lunch.
