Description
A gourmet twist on the classic grilled cheese, featuring creamy ricotta, savory sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach between crispy, buttery bread.
Ingredients
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Lay out 4 slices of bread. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly on each slice, then top with sun-dried tomatoes and a handful of fresh spinach.
- Divide shredded mozzarella cheese equally among the 4 slices, placing it on top of the spinach.
- Top each with a remaining slice of bread. Spread the outside of each sandwich with softened butter.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh basil.
