Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 8 slices Italian bread (½-inch thick)
  • 4 teaspoons butter, softened

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, sauté the onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the spinach; cook and stir until wilted. Drain. Stir in the feta, pine nuts, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Spread over 4 bread slices; top with remaining bread. Spread outsides of sandwiches with butter. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until bread is browned and cheese is melted, turning once. Cut each sandwich into quarters.

Greek Shopping Tip

Stock up on good quality extra-virgin olive oil, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, red wine vinegar, oregano, and lemons – these ingredients are central to Greek cuisine

Greek Cooking Tip
