Grilled Cheese With Spinach & Tomato
"This is a wonderful sandwich!! I was making myself a grilled cheese sandwich about a week ago, and decided to get a little creative with it. It came out spectacular. This is a nice change from your average grilled cheese :-) AND DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY IT! Even if you dont like spinach, try the sandwich.. its great!!!"

It was AMAZING!!! -
Delish! Great as written. I tripled up on the spinach. This will be a regular on our menu. Thanks lov for sharing the recipe. -
Delicious! I used some beautiful yellow tomatoes from my garden. Be very careful not to overcook the tomatoes in the pan..they can turn to mush in a second! Mine were close. Loved it though and I'll definitely make again!! -
Yummy! I also put mine in the oven just for health's sake. Oh, and I added some fresh basil and spicy mustard. Very tasty lunch! -
I have often made another recipe that combines chopped spinach with shredded cheese for grilled cheese. It is one of my favorites. Sauteing the spinach with garlic is even better. I skipped cooking the tomatoes before adding them to the sandwich and probably used double the amount of baby spinach. On multi-grain bread, this was fabulous.

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes...
