  • Author: lunagrace
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast cauliflower florets until golden and tender, about 25-30 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, mix roasted cauliflower, sautéed spinach, feta, and dill.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly on two slices of bread, topping with another slice for each sandwich.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
