Instructions

MAKE THE AIOLI:

Preheat your oven to 400°.
Cut the tops off 2 heads of garlic to expose the cloves. Place on aluminum foil, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Fold up the sides of the foil to create a pouch.
Roast for 45 minutes on the middle rack of your preheated oven.
Once the garlic has roasted and is safe to handle, squeeze out the roasted cloves of garlic into a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Use your favorite mayo here.

MAKE THE SANDWICH:

While the garlic roasts, heat a grill pan over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place butter-side-down onto a grill pan and grill until marks form on the one side.
Remove and repeat with remaining slices.
Preheat your broiler on high.
Slather the inside (the non grilled side) of each slice with some of the roasted garlic aioli.
Top 4 of the slices with a reheated slice of meatloaf.
Then top each one with a slice of cheddar and pepper jack cheese.
Place the sandwich halves on a rimmed metal baking sheet and slide under the broiler until the cheese has melted.
Next, top with pickles, onion, tomato and baby spinach.
Replace the second slice of bread on top and slice in half before serving.
