Description

A delicious and savory grilled cheese sandwich featuring a blend of creamy ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheeses, complemented by tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, all grilled to golden perfection on sourdough bread.


Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure even cooking and a perfect golden crust for your sandwiches.
  2. Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread, enhancing flavor and promoting a crisp, golden exterior during grilling.
  3. Mix the Cheeses: In a small bowl, combine ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese to create a creamy and flavorful cheese mixture.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place two buttered bread slices, butter side down, onto the preheated skillet. Evenly spread the cheese blend over the bread, then layer with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter side up.
  5. Grill the Sandwiches: Cook each sandwich side for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from heat, let them cool for a minute, then serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute sourdough bread with other sturdy bread varieties if desired.
  • For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian herbs to the cheese mixture.
  • Use a spatula to gently press the sandwich while grilling to ensure even cooking and cheese melting.
  • If you want to prepare sandwiches for more servings, simply multiply the ingredients accordingly.
