Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach
- 1 slice Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise (adjust based on preference for creaminess)
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 4 to 8 strips of cooked bacon (or bacon bits for convenience)
- Butter (for spreading on bread)
- Bread of your choice (rye is recommended for its robust flavor)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh spinach, Swiss cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and mustard. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well-blended, creating a creamy and flavorful filling.
-
Assemble the Sandwich:
- Take slices of your preferred bread (rye adds a unique, hearty taste). Evenly spread the spinach and cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of bread. If using bacon strips, layer 2-3 slices on top of the spread. For an easier option, sprinkle bacon bits evenly over the mixture.
-
Butter and Toast:
- Generously butter the outer sides of each slice of bread. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the hot griddle and cook until each side is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted to a gooey perfection. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once your sandwiches are crispy and the cheese is beautifully melted, remove them from the griddle. Slice them in half if desired, and serve with a side of your favorite chips and a pickle for an extra touch of crunch and tanginess.
