Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices sourdough or rustic bread
  • 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for wilting spinach)
  • 1 clove garlic (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. If using garlic, add it first until fragrant, then add fresh spinach and sauté until wilted (about 2–3 minutes). Set aside.
  2. Spread ricotta cheese evenly on one side of each slice of bread. On half of the slices, layer mozzarella cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and wilted spinach.
  3. Top with remaining bread slices to create sandwiches.
  4. Butter one side of each sandwich thoroughly before placing them butter-side down in the heated skillet.
  5. Grill for about 3–4 minutes until golden brown; flip carefully and grill the other side for another 3–4 minutes.
  6. Remove from skillet and let rest for one minute before slicing diagonally.
