Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Cheese Mixture
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Other Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat until it’s hot enough to grill the sandwiches evenly.
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread to ensure a golden, crispy exterior.
- Mix the Cheeses: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan to create a creamy cheese blend.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on the heated skillet. Evenly spread the cheese mixture on each slice, then layer with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach leaves. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing up.
- Cook the Sandwiches: Grill each sandwich side for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, allow them to cool slightly for a minute, and serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Use softened butter for easy spreading and even browning.
- Make sure the sun-dried tomatoes are well drained to avoid soggy bread.
- Feel free to add garlic powder or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- Press sandwiches gently while cooking to help the cheese melt evenly.
- Can substitute sourdough with any hearty bread of choice.
