Spinach Artichoke Panini

Ingredients:

1/2 Tbsp Earth Balance buttery spread

2 cups lightly packed fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup artichoke hearts, chopped

1 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes, julienned

shredded mozzarella cheese, or dairy free cheese alternative

4 pieces whole-grain bread

Directions:

Preheat panini press/grill pan.  

In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat.  Add spinach.  Stir until it wilts.  Stir in the artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes, stir until heated through.  Spread half of the mixture on one slice of bread and the other half on another.  Top each mixture with cheese, if using.  

Close the sandwiches with the remaining two slices of bread.  

Spray the outside of the bread with a light coating of olive oil spray.  Cook sandwiches in panini press until it is crispy and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.  Slice in half and serve immediately.
