Ingredients
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup parmesan cheese
½ egg
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
2 tsp fresh oregano (chopped)
salt + cracked pepper to taste
¼ cup soft butter
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp fresh oregano (chopped)
4 slices of no-knead bread
6 tbsp marinara or tomato sauce
1 cup grated mozzerella
1 medium tomato (sliced)
1 handful of spinach
Instructions
In a large bowl, add ricotta, parmesan, egg, lemon, spices, and fresh oregano. Mix ingredients together until combined.
In a small bowl combine softened butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh oregano. Whisk until combined. Set aside. (you may have some butter left over, feel free to use on anything you like)
To assemble, spread the ricotta cheese mixture on top of two of the bread slices.
Place sliced tomato, spinach, and mozzarella on top.
Spread marinara sauce on the other two slices of bread.
Set face-down on top of the half of the sandwich. Spread a nice amount of herb butter on the top of each layered sandwich.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the assembled sandwiches, on the buttered side. Cover with a lid, and cook for 3 – 4 minutes until golden brown. Before flipping, spread the rest of the herb butter on the other side. Flip, and allow to cook for another 2 – 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve immediately.
