Grilled Cheese with Spinach, Garlic, and Artichoke

Not your average grilled cheese.

Another triumph in the meatless meals department around here. Even if we don't have artichoke hearts on hand, the spinach and garlic made this sandwich! Now if I can just resist the urge to add cream cheese or heavy whipping cream to the filling...

Ingredients:

several handfuls of fresh spinach leaves, washed
one can of artichoke hearts, drained
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 c cheese of your choice (I used mozzarella and monterrey jack)
3 TBSP sour cream
butter
6 slices of bread
salt and pepper, to taste

To do:

• Prep the ingredients: mince the garlic, wash the spinach, drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts, grate your cheese, butter each of the slices of bread, melt a little bit of butter (a couple tablespoons) in your skillet.
• Very briefly sauté the garlic in the melted butter before adding your spinach. Once the spinach begins to wilt, add the artichoke hearts, heating all the ingredients through. 
• Drain any juices from your pan, and place the veggies in a bowl, adding about 3 TBSP of sour cream to bind the ingredients together. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Stuff your sandwiches: layer cheese, the veggie mixture, some more cheese, and place the sandwiches in your skillet until the bread is browned on both sides and the cheese is melted.

Serve immediately. 

Servings: 3 sandwiches
