Follow these straightforward steps to create your Mediterranean Spinach Grilled Cheese:
1. Prep the Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and chop the fresh spinach.
2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
3. Butter the Bread: Spread butter on one side of each slice of stone ground bread.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: On the non-buttered side of two slices, generously fill with the spinach and feta mixture. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side out.
