A traditional grilled cheese sandwich with fresh baby spinach leaves to make it more interesting and healthy. Crispy and cheesy just right!

Ingredients: 2 slices of bread. 2 slices of cheddar cheese. 2 tablespoons butter. 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Turn on the medium heat and put the pan or griddle there. Each piece of bread should have butter on one side. Put one slice of bread in the pan with the butter side down. Put one slice of cheddar cheese on top of the bread in the pan. On top of the cheese, put small spinach leaves. Toast the second piece of cheese and put it on top of the spinach leaves.
