If you're having a bad day, make this sandwich. It's gooey and sweet and fresh and a little bit salty and I bet you $10 it will make you feel better. Seriously, if you're having a crap day and this sandwich doesn't make you feel better, write me an email. I'll Paypal you $10.

3. Roast for about 15 minutes. The strawberries should hold their shape, but smush easily when pressed with a spoon.

4. While the strawberries are roasting, very lightly toast the bread. I think this adds a necessary crunch to the sandwich.

5. Once the strawberries are done, assemble the sandwich, you know the drill: bread, cheese, spinach and strawberries. You can butter the bread itself, but I usually heat the butter in the frying pan and do it that way.
