This high-protein grilled cheese sandwich combines the classic comfort of melted cheese with the added benefits of protein-rich ingredients, making it a satisfying lunch option. Perfectly toasted on the outside and gooey on the inside, it's a delightful twist on a beloved favorite.

Ingredients

• Whole grain bread - 4 slices
• Sharp cheddar cheese - 150 grams, sliced
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, sliced
• Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons
• Butter - 2 tablespoons
• Spinach - 1 cup, fresh
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spread.
2. Spread the yogurt mixture on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
3. Layer sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly on two slices of bread, on the yogurt-spread side.
4. Top the cheese with fresh spinach, then place the other two slices of bread on top, yogurt-side down.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt.
6. Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Add the remaining butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches, and grill the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, about another 3-4 minutes.
8. Remove from heat, let it cool for a minute, then slice and serve.
