Directions

1. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add half of the olive oil.
2. Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb excess moisture.
3. In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked spinach, shallots, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, Parmesan, and cream cheese. Mix until blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Brush remaining olive oil on one side of each bread slice. Place the filling on the un-oiled side of one slice, then top with the other slice, oiled side out.
6. For a skillet: Wipe out the pan and place over medium heat. Cook the sandwich, pressing with a spatula and flipping occasionally, until golden and melted through.
7. For a panini press: Preheat to medium-high. Cook the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
