Ingredients
4 slices sourdough bread
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
½ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
1. Prepare the Skillet:
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat for even cooking and a golden crust on the sandwich.
2. Butter the Bread:
Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread to create a crispy, golden exterior.
3. Mix the Cheeses:
In a small bowl, blend together the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses until smooth.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches:
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on the heated skillet.
Spoon and spread the cheese mixture evenly over each slice.
Layer the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheese mixture.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side up.
5. Cook the Sandwich:
Grill each side for about 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Remove from the skillet, let the sandwiches cool slightly, then serve warm for the best flavor.
Tips:
Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
For extra flavor, use garlic butter on the bread.
Serve with a side of tomato soup or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
