Description
A gooey, veggie-stuffed melt that combines the flavors of Spanakopita in a crispy sandwich format, perfect for a cozy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup fresh spinach, well-wrung
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices rustic bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast cauliflower florets until golden and tender, about 25-30 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, mix roasted cauliflower, sautéed spinach, feta, and dill.
- Spread the mixture evenly on two slices of bread, topping with another slice for each sandwich.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sandwiches and press down with a heavy skillet to achieve a golden crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve warm and enjoy your melt, optionally drizzled with olive oil.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients wherever possible and ensure the cauliflower is well-roasted to prevent a soggy filling. For a vegan option, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese.
