  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped spinach, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
