Strawberry Spinach Triple Grilled Cheese

Fresh Strawberries and Spinach make this gooey treat a little healthier.

A simple American grilled cheese sandwich gets an upgrade with spinach, strawberries and three kinds of cheesy goodness. I decided to forgo my usual healthy version of grilled cheese (using the toaster oven) and opted for the greasier, gooey version pictured above.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

You will need a small food processor or personal blender for this recipe.

Ingredients:

2 slices bread (I used Udi's Gluten Free white bread)

1 slice Swiss cheese

1 slice American cheese

2 tablespoons cream cheese

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1-2 strawberries, sliced

garlic powder

butter or margarine

Directions:

Lightly butter each side of the bread. Place in heated skillet. Pan fry the bread on one side while preparing the cream cheese and spinach mixture. 

For the spinach/cream cheese mixture combine cream cheese, spinach and garlic powder in food processor until all spinach is mixed in.

Once the underside of the bread is browned, flip the bread over. Spread cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread. Top one slice of bread with American and Swiss cheeses and finally with sliced strawberries. Place second slice of bread (which should only have cream cheese mixture on it) on top of first slice of bread, cream cheese side down. Continue pan frying sandwich until both sides are golden brown and cheese is melted. 

Note: Cooking this is a little messier than a regular grilled cheese sandwich but the result is well worth it.
