Get your green on! This mouthwatering, healthified combo takes the humble grilled cheese sandwich to a whole new level with two favourite freezer and pantry staples that are fresh and flavourful no matter the season—frozen spinach and canned artichoke hearts.
Perfect for #NationalSpinachDay, St. Patrick’s Day, or any day of the year that calls for a touch of green, this recipe pairs our delicious Mack’s Flax bread with everything you love most about savoury, delicious spinach artichoke dip and gooey grilled cheese in an irresistible sandwich melt. By incorporating creamy tofu, we lightened up the cheese (but not the taste) and cut the calories by half. In other words, you can enjoy this warm, enticing comfort food guilt-free!
