Description

This Sun-Dried Tomato, Spinach, and Ricotta Grilled Cheese is a flavorful twist on the classic grilled cheese, combining creamy ricotta, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, and melty mozzarella between crispy golden bread.


Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread (sourdough or your choice)
  • 2 tbsp ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 tbsp butter (for grilling)

Instructions

  1. Spread ricotta cheese on one slice of bread.
  2. Top with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.
  3. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the spinach.
  4. Place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich.
  5. Butter the outside of both slices of bread.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from heat, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for more flavor.
  • Swap in whole grain bread for added nutrition.
  • Can add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra seasoning.
