Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese

This week is vegetarian week in our house. Earlier today my best friend sent me a link to this AMAZING Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese Recipe. When I saw it I knew this is what I was eating for dinner. I had almost everything the recipe called for too so I just made a quick stop at the grocery store on the way home from work and was all set.

Since Branden is working tonight it was just me and the Boogie and so I made two smaller versions of this recipe. Mine is for one person but if you want to make for two follow the recipe in the link or just double mine.

Let's get started

Ingredients:

Large handful of spinach, about 1.5 to 2 cups
2 garlic cloves
2 artichokes (I bought a can and just cut one up)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 tablespoons light sour cream
1 cup shredded cheese mixture of provolone, mozzarella and monterrey jack
2 sandwich thins

Steps:
1. Dice garlic and cut up spinach and artichokes.



2. Add oil to a pan and toss in garlic, let it heat up for about 30 seconds to a minute then toss in spinach. Make sure to stir spinach around so it is coated with the oil. It will wilt and then it is time to add in the artichokes. Make sure the heat is on medium so you don't burn anything


3. Once the artichokes have heated up spoon in the sour cream and mix it in. Take off heat.
4. Put another pan on the burner and coat the pan with butter. Place half of each sandwich thin on the pan.
5. Sprinkle cheese on each half (save half). Then add your spinach and artichoke mixture on top of the cheese. Use the other half of the cheese to put on top of then. Top with sandwich thin top bun.

6. Grill each side evenly to crispy/grilled you like your sandwiches. I did one side slightly crispier then the other since the top of my sandwich thins have grains on them and I didn't want it to burn.


Since Maggie was also making this for dinner I asked her to send me a picture of hers so we could compare. We both agreed that adding some tomatoes would make this even more amazing.

And because no post is complete without a picture of my handsome little dude, here he is after getting to have some of the shredded cheese.
