Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes. Thaw it completely, then squeeze out excess moisture before using it in the sauté.

What’s the best bread for grilled cheese?

Sourdough, ciabatta, or rustic Italian bread offers the perfect crisp and chew.

You can prep the spinach mixture in advance, but it’s best to grill the sandwich fresh for optimal crispiness.

Not recommended. The sandwich may lose its crisp texture upon reheating.
