Instructions
1
Mix and Spread Garlic Butter
Start by mixing the butter and garlic together in a small bowl until it’s well blended. Spread half of this garlic butter on one side of each bread slice and set them aside.
2
Saut Spinach and Giardiniera
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Toss in the spinach and giardiniera, sautéing until the spinach wilts and everything is warmed through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Once done, transfer the mixture to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
3
Layering Melted Cheeses
Place one slice of the bread, buttered side down, on one side of the skillet. On the other side, add half a tablespoon of oil and lay down the mozzarella slices, cooking them for a minute or two until they get soft. Then, pile the mozzarella on top of the bread in the skillet. Do the same with the provolone, Asiago, and Fontina cheeses, layering each one on top.
4
Add Spinach and Tomato
Next, add the spinach mixture and tomato slices to the skillet. If it looks dry, drizzle in a bit more oil. Warm everything together for a couple of minutes, then spoon the spinach and tomato on top of the cheese. Finally, place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up.
5
Flip and Brown Sandwich
Carefully flip the whole sandwich and cook it until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, which should take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
Serve with a fresh side salad or a bowl of tomato soup for a balanced meal. Adding a few slices of ripe avocado or a handful of arugula inside the sandwich can also bring a fresh flavor contrast.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to keep the bread crispy and the cheese melted. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
