Spinach Alfredo Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  Every where we go.  I’m in full-out decorating mode, no time for fancy schmancy tonight.  How about an Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week Grilled Cheese Sandwich?!

Spinach Alfredo Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.  By gawwd.  Let’s not pretend to have magical ways to make a Grilled Cheese better than the last.  The truth is it’s all about the bread, then the cheese, then the nuance.

Spinach sautéed with onion, cream sauce, topped with melty cheese sandwiched between bakery bread.  Easy-peasy meal.
