Welcome to the cooking show and introduction to the recipe.

Gather all ingredients: chopped spinach, cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, scallions, marinated artichoke hearts, lemon zest, granulated garlic, salt, pepper, mayonnaise, provolone cheese, and sourdough bread.

In a bowl, add softened cream cheese.

Add chopped spinach and diced marinated artichoke hearts to the bowl.

Include sliced scallions and grated Parmesan cheese in the mixture.

Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in the granulated garlic and lemon zest.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly to create the spinach artichoke dip.

Slice the sourdough bread and prepare the provolone cheese.

Coat one side of each slice of bread with mayonnaise instead of butter.

Preheat the grill and place the mayonnaise-coated bread on it.

Add slices of provolone cheese on top of the bread on the grill.

Scoop the spinach artichoke dip onto the cheese-covered bread.

Allow the sandwich to cook until the cheese melts and the inside is warm.

Check the first sandwich for a crispy crust and melted cheese, then prepare the second sandwich.

Plate the sandwiches and prepare to serve them.
