Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Step 2: Butter the Bread

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
- Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean work surface.
- Spread a generous portion of the spinach artichoke filling onto the unbuttered side of each slice.
- Top each filled slice with the remaining bread slices, keeping the buttered sides facing outward.
Step 4: Heat the Skillet
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Allow the pan to warm evenly before adding the sandwiches.
Step 5: Cook the Sandwiches
- Place the prepared sandwiches in the heated skillet.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown.
- Carefully flip each sandwich.
- Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the cheese filling is melted and heated through.
Step 6: Serve
- Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board.
- Allow them to rest for 1 minute before slicing.
- Slice in half and serve hot.
