As promised, here's come grilled cheese number 2. And not cutting corners or lightening it up either! This is a full fat, time-to-indulge, comforting one. For special occasions only, of course. Or if you need something comforting because you have a severe "case of Mondays" (Office Space, anyone?). Or... your hockey team just lost a game. Or... Passover just ended and you need to make up for lost time (even if you're not Jewish). Or... "insert your excuse here" because trust us, you're gonna want to find one (any one) to sink your teeth into this decadent sandwich.
We combined creamy and mild Muenster cheese with a salty, sharp feta for the perfect balance of texture and flavor. The sun dried tomatoes add some "earthiness' while the spinach give the sandwich just a touch of freshness. And to top it all off, buttery, crisp bread.
A perfect way to end grilled cheese month, if you ask us.
So go find your excuse, and enjoy it 😉

Wow- I just made these- luckily had some nice multigrain bread that we brought home from a restaurant last night, leftover spinach from Shabbat, and the cheeses. Also served it with your fabulous romesco sauce left over from Passover (I just deleted the bread from the recipe). Yummy- my husband was a happy man at lunch!!

I always just make grilled cheese for my kids, but when you give ideas like this I have to rethink what I am missing out on.

Thanks Tamar! My son loves it when I "experiment" with grilled cheese. Maybe your kids will too 🙂

ohmyohmyohmy it is breakfast time for me and I dont have any of that in my house. It looks SOOOO delicious. I like the idea of combining the cheeses for flavor and texture contrast.

I've never added feta to grilled cheese, what a great idea!
Vicky & Ruth says
Feta definitely adds a nice tanginess and saltiness to the grilled cheese.
