Spinach Grilled Cheese is one of our favorite go-to 1 year old lunches and it's an easy recipe to make for the kids. You can even use the filling for future meals too—just stash it in the fridge!
Place the spinach, cheese, cream cheese, and cumin in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Spread a thin layer of the spinach mixture onto 2 of the slices of bread. (You may have leftovers.) Add the second bread slices on top to make a sandwich. Add a thin coat of butter to the outside of each sandwich.
Warm a skillet over medium heat. When warm, cook each sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side or until warmed through and melty.
Serve warm in slices or cubes.
You can store any leftover spinach mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days to make additional sandwiches.
