Ingredients
For the Sandwiches:
- Sourdough Bread: 4 slices
- Butter: 2 tablespoons, softened
- Ricotta Cheese: ½ cup
- Mozzarella Cheese: ½ cup, shredded
- Parmesan Cheese: 2 tablespoons, grated
- Sun-Dried Tomatoes: ¼ cup, drained and chopped
- Fresh Spinach Leaves: 1 cup
Instructions
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Mix the Cheeses: In a bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses until smooth.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place two bread slices, buttered side down, on the skillet. Spread the cheese mixture on the unbuttered side, then layer with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Top with remaining bread, buttered side up.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Cook each side for 3–4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Slice in half and serve hot.
