Just like the gooey dip that everyone loves... Only portion-controlled, guilt-free, and between slices of bread. Perfect!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chopped spinach leaves
1 artichoke heart packed in water, drained, chopped
1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese
1 tsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
2 slices light bread
2 tbsp. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
Directions:
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave spinach leaves for 45 seconds, or until wilted. Blot away excess moisture. Add chopped artichoke heart, cheese wedge, Parm-style topping, and garlic powder, and mix until uniform.
Lay bread slices flat. Spread one slice with spinach mixture, and top with shredded cheese. Top with the other bread slice. Spread the top of the sandwich with 1 tsp. butter.
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Carefully place sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Spread the top with remaining 1 tsp. butter.
Cook until bread is lightly browned and cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side, flipping carefully. Eat up!
