A buttery, golden-brown grilled cheese sandwich packed with gooey melted cheese, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach for a flavor-packed masterpiece.

Ingredients

  • Sun-Dried Tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
  • Fresh Spinach (washed and dried)
  • Ricotta Cheese (full-fat)
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Parmesan Cheese (grated)
  • Butter (softened)
  • Sourdough Bread (thick slices)
  • Garlic Powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces and set aside. Wash and dry the spinach thoroughly. In a small mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  2. Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the outer side that gets golden crust.
  3. On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture. Top with spinach leaves and sprinkle the chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly across. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  4. Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from the skillet and let the sandwich rest for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t skimp on the butter for a golden, crispy crust.’, ‘Use room temperature butter for easy spreading.’, ‘Cook on medium heat to ensure the cheese melts while the bread crisps.’, ‘Cover the skillet briefly if the cheese isn’t melting enough.’]
