Spinach and Artichoke Grilled Cheese

Perfect Pairing:  Tomato Bisque

Spinach and artichoke dip is fantastic and so is a grilled cheese.  Combine them and you have a really awesome specialty sandwich on your hands, or in your hands.

The sandwich includes a creamy spinach and artichoke spread and a layer of fresh mozzerella cheese.  The base of the spread is Spinach and Artichoke Boursin.  You may remember my confession of love for Boursin cheese from this post.  My original plan was to buy the garlic and herb variety, I had no idea they made a spinach and artichoke flavor.  Once I saw that I knew I had to use it in the recipe.  If you cannot find that flavor you could easily substitute the garlic and herb cheese.

The Perfect Pairing for a spinach and artichoke grilled cheese is this tomato bisque recipe.  It is super simple and can be made in the time it takes to grill the sandwiches.  Perfect for dunking!
