# What You Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
02 - 1 garlic clove, minced

03 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
04 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

# Steps:
01 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
02 - Add chopped spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted approximately 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - In a bowl, combine sautéed spinach with crumbled feta and mozzarella cheese. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
04 - Lay out all bread slices. Evenly distribute spinach-feta mixture over 2 slices, then top each with remaining bread slices to create 2 sandwiches.
