No reviews

A quick twist on the classic grilled cheese with creamy ricotta, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite crusty bread)
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat a skillet or griddle on medium heat.
  2. Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  3. In a bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Mix until creamy and evenly combined.
  4. Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet.
  5. Spread the cheese mixture over the top side of each slice on the skillet.
  6. Add sun-dried tomatoes and spinach leaves evenly on top of the cheese.
  7. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
  8. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, slice, and serve hot with a side salad or tomato soup.

Notes

Use day-old sourdough for the best crunch. Store the cheese mixture in the refrigerator for up to two days.
