3. On 4 slices of bread, layer on the shredded cheese, then the chicken or turkey deli meat followed by the spinach.
4. Top the spinach with the beef or ham deli meat. To finish each sandwich, top with a slice of bread. The side of bread with garlic butter or oil should be on the inside of the sandwich. No greasy fingers.
