Spinach and cheese sandwich is one of the easiest sandwiches one can make and best way to feed kids who hate spinach. I have added only salt as I made it for my kids. Please feel free to add black pepper powder or paprika or any other spice according to your personal preference.
Spinach is very good for health, contains more nutrients than any other vegetable, prevents any common disease, good for skin, reduces blood pressure and prevents asthma. Mozzarella Cheese contains calcium, protein, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin B12 and gives good strength to body.
I have used mozzarella cheese for this recipe. Instead of it, any cheese can be used.
