Grilled Cheese with Spinach-and-Tomato Sauce
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree (from one 15-ounce can)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 pound spinach, stems removed, leaves washed well and shredded
- 8 thick slices from a large round loaf of country bread
- 1/2 pound mozzarella, sliced
- 1/4 pound mild goat cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
- In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately low heat.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the spinach and simmer until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes longer.
- Cover to keep warm.
- Top 4 slices of the bread with mozzarella.
- Spoon some of the spinach mixture over each, spreading the spinach to the edges of the bread.
- Sprinkle the goat cheese over the spinach and top with the remaining bread slices.
- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat.
- Cook two of the sandwiches, turning once, until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, about 4 minutes in all.
- Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the other two sandwiches, keeping the first batch of sandwiches warm on a baking sheet in a 200 oven.
