Nothing's more comforting than a grilled cheese sandwich. My favorite combination is Gruyère on sourdough, slathered in butter and grilled on the stovetop till crispy. And I just recently starting putting a little extra something in my grilled cheese: Spinach dip! It adds a slight tang and a creamy texture…and, of course, a little nutrition thanks to the spinach!
P.S. My other favorite recipe to make using spinach dip…

Gruyere grilled cheese is my favorite. It looks delicious! Try adding caramelized onions and pears to it. It’s awesome!
Looks delish!!
This looks delicious!
xo, Yi-chia
Spinach dip! Genius. And, this simple sandwich looks so pretty a top that darling patterned plate!
That sounds amazing! I really need to amp up my grilled-cheese-sandwich-making abilities. I usually stick to the standard Kraft single cheddar cheese and wheat bread, but this sounds SO much better!
Sounds absolutely wonderful… how do you make the spinach dip? (or do you buy it?)

love grilled cheese! and with sourdough, yum! adding sliced pear or apple really amps it up too. and because i am a garlic fiend and believe everything tastes a little better with garlic, a swipe of garlic aioli on the bread before frying is my secret weapon!

Oh man, this looks so fantastic. Please keep doing these posts!
Spinach Dip! What a good idea, I must try this!
wow that sounds amazing! I love your snack posts 🙂
Yum! I love all the “grown-up” versions of grilled cheese I’ve been seeing lately.
Joy, try this version from Sprouted Kitchen. It’s delicious. http://www.sproutedkitchen.com/home/2012/4/1/sauteed-chard-gruyere-grilled-cheese.html
Oh gosh this looks sooo good! I am a huge fan of fancy grilled cheese, thanks!
JOY! It’s still January! You are going to stray people away from their good eating habits! Haha looks so stinking good!
Yum – I totally agree. Perfect comfort food.
yummy! perfect for a chilly winter day!
My new discovery has been sautéed kale! With a bit of garlic, salt and some olive oil you’ve got the best companion to any sandwich! Especially if its sandwiched in between a grilled cheese – yum!!
What a great idea! I’m a fan of a little tomato in my grilled cheese, but you’ve inspired me to mix it up a bit.
I just love that plate. Could I possibly ask where it is from?
Hi!
Its from West Elm!

oh spinach dip that’s smart! i do ‘fancy’ grilled cheese as my husband calls it. but it’s really just french bread, whatever cheese i have on hand, pear or avocado, and prosciutto 🙂
Thank you for bringing two of my favorite comfort foods together!!
Wow, this looks amazing! It would be so tasty with a creamy tomato soup (especially in this rainy weather). May I join you for lunch? 😉
Hope you’re well, Joy!
i think we MIGHT just adore the same stuff on pinterest – following you happily!
I just found frozen Kale. Have you tried baking the frozen for the chips?
