Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough 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
- Butter bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

- Cook sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or fresh basil before grilling.
- Pairs well with tomato soup or a fresh green salad.
- You can swap sourdough for ciabatta or multigrain bread.
