Grilled Cheese with Sweet Potatoes



  • 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 c sweet potato puree
  • 1/8 c spinach puree
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  1. In a medium bowl, mix the cheese, veggies, butter and salt.  Spread two slices of the bread with the cheese mixture and top with the other two slices.
  2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium heat.  When the skillet is hot, add the oil.  Put the sandwiches in the pan and spray the tops with cooking spray.  Cook 4-5 minutes per side, unitl the bread is crisp and the filling is melted.
Recipe adapted from Deceptively Delicious.  I added spinach for a little green veggie and iron.  This made the filling a yellow-green color.  Kids that know what grilled cheese looks like might not like that, but George didn't know the difference.
