In a recent interview, actress Nicole Kidman revealed that her best sandwich is the cheese and tomato toastie. (A toastie is a British term for a toasted sandwich, like a panini or a grilled cheese.)
There are many versions of her favourite, so we've got one for you. Best with Cowhead Natural Cheese Slices Mozzarella!
Here's how to do it:
1. Cook 1 tablespoon oil, the sliced garlic and ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant and the garlic starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Add 10 ounces baby spinach; cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a small heatproof bowl and set aside. Reserve the skillet.
2. Place 1 slice mozzarella on each of 4 bread slices. Top each with 2 tomato slices. Sprinkle the tomatoes with ⅛ teaspoon salt. Top with the spinach mixture and drizzle with 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze. Top with the remaining 4 cheese slices and 4 bread slices.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 sandwiches; cook, covered, until browned on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 2 sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally to serve.
Yields 4. Happy cooking with Cowhead!
