Looking for an insanely delicious grilled cheese recipe? Alex and I had a recent craving for grilled cheese and had a stroke of genius that was too good not to share! We present: Spinach Artichoke Grilled Cheese. Our inspiration for this sandwich was to combine a grilled cheese sandwich with the spinach artichoke melt we made a while back, to meld the deliciousness of spinach artichoke dip into sandwich form.

The result is gooey and totally delicious – similar to the famous dip, but in meal form. We went heavy on the spinach in this recipe to take full advantage of the goodness of dark leafy greens. The magic ingredient is sour cream – just a bit on each sandwich transforms it from the ordinary grilled cheese. For the cheese we used shredded cheese instead of a cheese slice, which makes for the perfect cheesy consistency. We also put cheese above and below the filling, which helped to increase the overall cheesy-ness.
There’s something about a toasted cheese sandwich that just doesn’t get old. At least, it hasn’t yet! Give this spinach artichoke grilled cheese a taste, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Oh boy…I should not have read this post right before bed. I won’t be able to sleep until I have a grilled cheese sandwich now! *hehe* Love the addition of artichokes. Great idea!
Do this on focaccia, saute the spinach lightly in olive oil and garlic, and add sauteed mushrooms and shrimp along with some tomato and thinly sliced purple onion, and you’ll have my favorite sandwich in the world.
