Sun-Dried Tomato, Spinach, and Ricotta Grilled Cheese

A gourmet grilled cheese sandwich featuring sourdough bread filled with a creamy ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese mixture, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach leaves for a flavorful twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of 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 a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses until well mixed.
  3. Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on the hot skillet. Evenly spread the cheese mixture over these slices. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheese.
  4. Cover with the remaining bread slices, placing the buttered side up. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, flipping once, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Notes

Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor; drain well before chopping. For a crispier sandwich, press down gently with a spatula while cooking. Wilt the spinach slightly if you prefer less volume in the sandwich.
