Happy grilled cheese month! I have a great grilled cheese for you and it’s light!
I know, I don’t usually participate in the whole “National ___ Month.” Not because I don’t like it, but because I just can’t keep up or forget to make something and post it. I honestly don’t know where people find what to celebrate each month or who decides it. Love the spirit of celebrating something all the time, though. So fun!
Well, grilled cheese is easy to remember because I make them all the time. I also love playing around with different flavors. This month, of course, various grilled cheese sandwiches have been everywhere. They all look so delicious.
This was kind of a last minute idea. I make myself spinach and feta quesadilla quite often. It’s a light and delicious lunch that’s ready in 10 minutes. I was about to make another one and remembered that it was a grilled cheese month, so I made a grilled cheese version. I also covered it in Parmesan for a nice crispy/cheesy crust.
Spinach Feta Parmesan Crusted Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- 4 oz of cooked chopped spinach (or frozen), squeezed
- 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbs chopped green onion
- salt pepper
- Your favorite butter substitute
- 3 tbs shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 thin slices of sourdough bread
Instructions
- Spread the butter substitute of each slice of bread.
- Divide the Parmesan between each slice, on the buttered side. Spread evenly and press it down lightly.
- Preheat the pan on medium heat and spay with a little bit of Pam.
- In a small bowl, mix the spinach, feta, green onion, salt and pepper until all combined.
- Place one slice of bread in the pan, Parmesan side down. Top off with the spinach/feta mixture(evenly and press it lightly).
- Cover with the second slice of bread, Parmesan side up. Press it down and cook on medium-low heat, covered, for about 5 minutes on each side. (Be careful flipping it, and press it again after you flip it.)
If you like this grilled cheese, I have a couple more for you!

April 17, 2013 at 10:47 pmI’m like you – I don’t post stuff on whatever “National______Day” it is. In fact, I didn’t even know there was a National Grilled Cheese Day until it was that day. A clueless food blogger, I must be. But I don’t have time to keep up with all of those dates!
I love your grilled cheese sandwich. I enjoy experimenting with grilled cheese so I will have to try something like this one day. Thanks for sharing at Marvelous Mondays. Pinned to my MM board. Have a great weekend!

April 18, 2013 at 3:29 pmI completely forget to celebrate all of the National Food Month holidays too. I get emails every day of that day’s food holiday, but by then it’s too late for me to make, photograph, and post a dish! I love your touch of adding Parmesan to the bread for a cheesy crust — you can never have too much cheese on a grilled cheese sandwich!
