EASY GREEK SPINACH AND FETA MELT
If you love spinach and feta then you will really enjoy this! it's easy to make just mix all ingredients together spread on bread and brown...SO DELICIOUS! Make certain to hand-squeeze your spinach very dry. One package of spinch may be use instead of two for a milder taste. Easy on the garlic, use a small amount only for this, my family loves garlic but too much will overpowrer this melt! If you are oven-broiling your melt you might want to toast the bread firstly in a toaster.
