# Needed Ingredients:

→ Cheeses

01 - 250 g ricotta cheese
02 - 25 g grated Parmesan cheese
03 - 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Vegetables

04 - 80 g sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
05 - 30 g fresh spinach, chopped

→ Bread

06 - 8 slices sourdough bread

→ Fats and Oils

07 - 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
08 - 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter, softened

→ Seasoning

09 - Salt, to taste
10 - Black pepper, to taste

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped spinach, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
02 - Arrange sourdough bread slices on a clean surface. Spread a layer of ricotta mixture on one side of each slice.
03 - Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the filling on half of the bread slices. Top each with a remaining slice, ricotta side in, forming sandwiches.
04 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Once butter is melted, place two sandwiches in the skillet.
05 - Grill sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side or until bread is golden and cheese is fully melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, adding more olive oil and butter as needed.
06 - Transfer sandwiches to a board and let rest for 1 minute. Slice in half and serve warm.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Ensure the skillet is sufficiently preheated to achieve an even crisp exterior without burning the bread.
