Grilled Cheese w/Tomatoes, Spinach and Sunflower Seeds

And since spring in Montana inevitably still includes a crazy blustery day or two, here’s a fresh twist on an old favorite for your non-picnic days when you’re cocooned up at home, although I did enjoy mine outside, paired with the Cucumber Soup:

  • 4 slices of cheddar, Havarti, or other cheese of your choice
  • 4 tomato slices
  • Small handful of fresh spinach, around 10 leaves
  • ¼ cup roasted sunflower seeds
  • Thin layer of mayonnaise
  • Sliced bread of your choice

Layer your cheese, spinach, sunflower seeds, and tomato slices on your bread. Instead of the usual butter, spread a light layer of mayonnaise on the outside of your bread and toast in a skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden brown. Flip your sandwich and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is nicely melted.
