Spinach cream

- pinch of salt more to taste
- 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese
Grilled cheese sandwich
- 4 slices bread of your choice
- 1 tbsp vegan butter or oil
- 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese shredded
Preparation
Spinach cream
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet.

Then add the spinach and a pinch of salt, and sauté for a further minute until just wilted.
Transfer to a bowl, drain off any excess liquid, then stir in the vegan cream cheese and another pinch of salt to taste.
Grilled cheese sandwich
Clean the same skillet or use another large pan and heat to medium-high heat.
Spread vegan butter or oil on one side of each of the bread slices.
Once the pan is hot, add 2 slices of bread, buttered side down.
On each slice, spread some shredded cheese, the spinach cream filling, some more cheese (half cup per sandwich), and top with the other slices of bread, buttered side up.
Use a spatula to gently press down on the grilled cheese sandwich during frying.
When the bottom bread is browned, flip the sandwich and cook until the other side is toasted too and the cheese is melted, about 2-4 minutes each side.
Serve warm and enjoy!
