This high-protein, gourmet grilled cheese sandwich recipe features Gruyere cheese and a poached egg for 28 grams of protein per sandwich.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 4
- 4 cups Baby Spinach Organic
- 2 tsp 100% Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 pinch Organic Ground Cayenne Red Pepper
- 1 tbsp Butter, Unsalted
- 6 oz Switzerland Gruyere Cheese
- 8 whole-grain bread slice(s)
- 4 Poached Egg
DIRECTIONS
1
Toss together the spinach, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne in a large bowl; set aside.
2
Heat a large (eco-friendly) nonstick skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Thinly spread one side of each bread slice with the softened butter. In batches, place 4 slices buttered-side down in the pan and top each with 1 slice cheese, 1/2 packed cup of the fresh spinach mixture, and 1 poached egg. Top with the remaining spinach, sliced cheese, and bread slices, buttered-side up.
3
In batches, grill sandwiches until cheese melts and bread is well toasted, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side, carefully turning sandwiches once during grilling. Cut in half diagonally, and serve.
