Description

Your favorite dip turned into a gooey, crisp vegetarian grilled cheese sandwich!  A quick spinach-artichoke spread flavored with garlic, lemon and two cheeses is sandwiched between bread, griddled until melty and golden-brown.  Serve with plenty of napkins!


Ingredients

Scale

SPINACH-ARTICHOKE MIXTURE:

  • 3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
  • 2 ounces fresh spinach, stems removed and torn into big pieces
  • 5 artichokes packed in water, drained and coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • Cayenne pepper, to taste
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 ounces (1/2 cup) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 ounces (1 cup) coarsely grated mozzarella cheese
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

TO ASSEMBLE:

  • 4 slices good-quality sandwich bread
  • 1 tablespoon softened butter mixed with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. For the spinach-artichoke mixture: combine all of the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.  Divide between two slices of bread and top with the remaining two slices of bread.  Spread a thin layer of butter-mayonnaise mixture on the outside of each piece.
  2. Preheat a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) with a lid over medium-low heat.  Add the sandwiches and cover.  Cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until the filling is melted and gooey and the outside of the sandwiches are golden brown.  Remove from the heat and allow to set for a few minutes before cutting in half.
