After hearing that one of the sandwiches that the Serendipity food truck (sadly, no longer around) serves is based on a spinach and artichoke dip, I took it as a challenge to take my spinach and artichoke dip and make it into a grilled cheese sandwich. And oh, what a happy day it was. This grilled spinach and artichoke cheese sandwich combines a great cheesy dip with grilled sourdough bread. The result is gooey and savory, a perfect change from the ole traditional grilled cheese sandwich. And oh, the bread! The perfect crunchiness to go with the creamy filling!
Ever since I made these I’ve started looking at dips and cracker spreads differently. Now I think ‘sandwich’. The filling for these sandwiches started out as a popular dip I took to a family get-together. They ended up being some of the best sandwiches I’ve ever made or had! So who know what dip will find it’s way between two slices of bread next!
Wimpy Bread Need Not Apply
You’ll want to use a thick, hearty bread for these sandwiches. Thin wimpy white bread isn’t going to cut it. I bought a loaf of sourdough and cut it thick. Ciabatta is another great choice. It can handle the job.
I used my Cuisinart Griddler to make these sandwiches. It is a sandwich cooking machine. I love it. I use it for whole bunch of other dishes, too. Like pancakes or waffles. And hamburgers. It’s really a versatile tool to have.
If you have an outdoor griddle, such as a Blackstone or Weber Slate, you can easily make these sandwiches on it. Just watch the heat. You don’t want to burn the bread!
