Description
This mouthwatering dish combines the comforting essence of grilled cheese with the health benefits of fresh vegetables and lean protein.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Begin by heating your nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, add the egg whites directly to the pan. Then, add in the prepared spinach. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the spinach wilts while the egg whites cook. This will only take about 3–5 minutes. Keep an eye on them, stirring occasionally until the egg whites are fully set and look fluffy, and the spinach is a vibrant green.
- Once the egg and spinach mixture is ready, it’s time to build your sandwiches! Take two slices of the whole wheat bread and layer on half of the egg and spinach mixture. Next, sprinkle half of the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the egg and spinach. Top it off with the remaining slices of bread to form a sandwich. This step is crucial for ensuring every bite is packed with flavor!
- Spread a thin layer of the softened unsalted butter over the outer sides of each sandwich. Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and let them cook for about 3–4 minutes. Flip carefully with a spatula, and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until both sides are golden brown and crispy. This will also help to melt the feta inside, making it delightfully gooey!
Notes
Always ensure your skillet is well-heated to get that lovely golden-brown crust on your sandwiches.
