Greek Sandwich Bites

Healthy Cooking

Here’s an appetizer that tastes just like traditional spanakopita, but it’s much less work to make.

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lb. fresh baby spinach
• 1 cup (4 oz.) crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 8 slices Italian bread (1/2 in. thick)
• 4 tsp. butter, softened

How to make it  25 minutes

  In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the spinach; cook and stir until wilted. Drain. Stir in the feta, pine nuts, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• 2

  Spread over four bread slices; top with remaining bread. Spread outsides of sandwiches with butter. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until bread is browned and cheese is melted, turning once. Cut each sandwich into quarters.
