3 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh spinach
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.

3. Spread ricotta on one slice of bread. Top with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella.

5. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Grill sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Notes
Use a thick, crusty bread like sourdough for the best crunch and structure.
Be sure to press gently on the sandwich while grilling to melt the cheese evenly.
Add a little extra butter to the pan for an ultra-crispy exterior.
