1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
black pepper to taste
cooking spray

Directions

1

Heat Panini press or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Place the spinach on 1 slice of bread. Arrange the apple slices evenly over the spinach, and sprinkle the apple with black pepper. Top with the cheese, then the remaining slice of bread.
3

Lightly spray the outside of the sandwich with cooking spray and place in the Panini press or skillet.

If using a skillet turn the sandwich over after about 3-4 minutes and with a spatula or a heavy skillet, press the sandwich down to mash it together. If using a Panini press, remove from the press after about 5 minutes or when the cheese is melted and the bread is light golden in color.
