Panini with spinach and artichokes

Ingredients:

• 110 g of cream cheese
• 1 tbsp sour cream
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 0.5 tsp grated lemon zest (from half a lemon)
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 package (280g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed out thoroughly
• 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, patted dry
• 0.5 tbsp. grated mozzarella
• 1/4 tbsp. grated parmesan
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 12 slices of white bread
• Special equipment: 2 baking sheets with sides

Preparation:

1. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 230°C.
2. Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, lemon zest, salt, spinach, and artichoke hearts in a food processor. Blend until evenly distributed. Add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and mix.
3. Spread 1/4 cup mayonnaise on half the bread slices. Place the slices, mayonnaise side down, on a second rimmed baking sheet and spread the spinach filling evenly over them, right to the edges. Top with the remaining bread slices. Spread the top slices with the remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise.
4. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place it directly on top of the sandwiches. Return the baking sheets to the oven and bake until the sandwiches are golden brown and the filling is melted, about 15 minutes.
5. Let sit for 5 minutes before cutting into small squares or triangles. Serve the sandwiches warm.
