8-10 kalamata olives, halved after removing pits

# Instructions:
01 -
Take the soft herb and garlic cheese, the sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped nuts, then stir them up in a bowl until you’ve got a smooth and creamy mix.
02 -
Butter one side of each bread piece and set them in the pan with the buttered side down. Let them toast up until they turn golden and crisp, then remove them.
03 -
On the unbuttered sides of both slices, spread your garlic and herb mix. Add spinach, olives, and cheese on one of the slices, then complete the sandwich with the other slice.

Place the sandwich back in the pan on medium-low heat. Cook it about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted well, and the bread is golden and crispy.
