Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy ricotta cheese with 1/4 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1 cup of fresh, pat-dried spinach. Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Lay out two slices of sourdough bread. Spread half of the ricotta mixture on each slice. Top with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on each. Place the remaining slices of bread on top.
  3. In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat until melted.
  4. Carefully place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Flip each sandwich using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts completely and the bread is golden brown.
  6. Remove from skillet, let them rest, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

Patting spinach leaves dry prevents excess moisture, ensuring your grilled cheese remains crispy. You can also assemble sandwiches up to 8 hours in advance.
