cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Provolone is often less expensive and melts well.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Pecorino is a more affordable cheese with a similar flavor.

Grate Swiss cheese and gruyere cheese into a bowl.

Mix in cream cheese to create a paste.

Grate parmesan cheese and add to the bowl.

Slice one clove of garlic thinly, saving half for later.

Heat olive oil in a skillet and add sliced garlic.

Add fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until just tender.

Add 1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts and red pepper flakes to the spinach mixture.

Combine the spinach mixture with the cheese mixture and season with salt.

Drizzle olive oil on one side of the sourdough bread.

Spread half of the filling on the un-oiled side of the bread and top with another slice of bread.

Place the sandwich in a waffle iron and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown.

Grate the reserved garlic clove over the toasted sandwich before serving.
