WW GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

• 4 slices whole wheat bread
• 2 teaspoons olive oil or butter
• 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking spray

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
   • Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat.
   • In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
   • Lightly toast the slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or toaster oven.
2. Sauté the Veggies:
   • Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the thinly sliced red onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, sautéing until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat and set aside.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches:
   • On two slices of toasted bread, evenly distribute half of the shredded cheese mixture.
   • Top the cheese with the sautéed red onion and mushrooms, followed by a layer of baby spinach leaves.
   • Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the spinach, then cover each sandwich with the remaining two slices of toasted bread.
4. Grill the Sandwiches:
   • Lightly coat the preheated skillet or griddle with cooking spray.
   • Place the assembled sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
   • Press down gently on the sandwiches with a spatula while cooking to ensure even browning and melting.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Once the sandwiches are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two.
   • Slice the grilled cheese sandwiches diagonally for a classic presentation, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
