Ingredients
For the sandwich
- 4 slices slices of bread (sourdough recommended)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter

- Add chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder, if desired. Stir until well combined.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
