Description
This Sun Dried Tomato Spinach and Ricotta Grilled Cheese is a melty, golden sandwich filled with creamy ricotta, gooey mozzarella, sweet sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach. It’s gourmet comfort food you can whip up in minutes!
Ingredients
2 slices sourdough or artisan bread
1⁄3 cup ricotta cheese
1⁄4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
1⁄3 cup fresh spinach, wilted
1 tablespoon butter, softened
Pinch salt
Pinch pepper
Pinch garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and sauté the spinach for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Set aside and pat dry if needed.
2. In a bowl, mix ricotta with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
3. Spread ricotta mixture onto one slice of bread. Top with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella.
4. Place the second slice of bread on top and butter the outside of both slices.
5. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and grill the sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula until golden brown and cheese is melted.
6. Let rest for 1 minute before slicing and serving.
Notes
Let the sandwich rest a minute after cooking to keep the filling from spilling out.
Thoroughly dry the spinach before adding it to avoid soggy bread.
Use low heat and patience for the best golden crust without burning.
