Certainly! Here’s an updated version of the recipe for a grilled cheese salmon sandwich with a creamy white sauce and spinach mozzarella cheese, incorporating mayo, chives, dill, and spinach as a spread:
Ingredients:
– 4 slices of bread (your choice of type)
– 4 ounces of smoked salmon, thinly sliced
– 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves
– 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 2 tablespoons of butter, softened
For the spread:
– 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon of chopped chives
– 1 teaspoon of chopped dill
– 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves, finely chopped
For the white sauce:
– 2 tablespoons of butter
– 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
– 1 cup of milk
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped chives, chopped dill, and finely chopped spinach leaves. Mix well to create the spread. Set aside.
2. Prepare the white sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, creating a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid any lumps. Cook the sauce until it thickens and reaches a smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
4. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Spread a generous amount of the prepared mayo, chives, dill, and spinach spread on the non-buttered side of each slice.
6. Layer the smoked salmon on one slice of bread, followed by the fresh spinach leaves. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the spinach.
7. Place the second slice of bread, spread-side down, on top of the mozzarella cheese.
8. Carefully transfer the sandwich to the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese melts.
9. Once the sandwich is grilled to your desired level of crispiness, remove it from the skillet.
10. Allow the sandwich to cool for a minute or two before slicing it diagonally.
11. Serve the grilled cheese salmon sandwich warm and enjoy!
Feel free to adjust the quantities of the spread ingredients according to your taste preferences. This recipe provides a flavorful combination of salmon, cheese, and herbs for a delicious and satisfying sandwich.
