This Greek Inspired Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe incorporates feta and spinach into a delicious lunch or easy dinner. Try it with sundried tomatoes too!
This Greek Inspired Grilled Cheese Recipe thrives on Greek-inspired flavors of spinach, feta and oregano. I love to make this oh-so-delicious sandwich when I am making lunch just for myself.
I usually have all of the ingredients on hand and it makes a lunch that seems special with very little work on my part! A yummy lunch that is also an easy lunch is always a win!
The benefits of a feta grilled cheese sandwich is that it is PACKED with flavor! Since feta isn’t a very “melty” cheese, we team it up with mozzarella so you still get that gooey goodness of grilled cheese.
Adding sun dried tomatoes or roasted tomatoes to the sandwich adds a little extra flavor, but is totally optional. I know sun dried tomatoes aren’t really greek, and more Italian – but they’re a delicious addition to this sandwich!
I often don’t have them on hand and enjoy my sandwich just as much without them!
Greek Inspired Grilled Cheese Recipe with Spinach and Feta
INGREDIENTS:
4 slices bread
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 tsp oregano
1 Tbsp butter
optional – sundried or roasted tomatoes
How to Make Spinach Feta Grilled Cheese:
Lay out two pieces of bread on your work area.
Divide mozzarella and spread half on each slice. Lay spinach leaves on top of cheese. Sprinkle spinach with the feta cheese and oregano. If using, top with the tomatoes.
Place second slice of bread on top of each sandwich.
Melt 1/2 the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook until bread is toasted (you can keep a lid on the pan while cooking the first side to make sure the cheese melts through).
Flip the sandwiches, adding the rest of the butter before returning to pan. Cook until second side is toasted.

Oh my goodness this looks delicious. With all the varieties of grilled chicken sandwiches I have never, ever seen one like this. A Greek inspired grilled cheese sounds like it would be impossible, but you have done it here! Wonder what it would taste like with some fresh marinara on the side to dip it in.

Spinach and feta are two things that we like and eat a lot of in our house. I’ve put them together in omelettes but never thought of putting it together like this. I like this idea. Thank you!
