  • To make the creamy spinach filling, you can use fresh or frozen spinach. If using fresh spinach, be sure to wash it thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
  • Be generous with the cheese! The more cheese you use, the more flavorful the sandwiches will be.
  • If you don't have ciabatta rolls on hand, you can use any type of bread you like. French bread, sourdough, or even sandwich bread would all be good options.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for later.
