This Spinach Ricotta Grilled Cheese brings together creamy, tangy, and savory flavors in a way that makes it hard to put down. The spinach spread, made with Spinach Spreggies, garlic, and apple cider vinegar, has just the right amount of brightness to cut through the richness of the ricotta and melted cheddar. A slice of crispy bacon adds a little crunch, while the toasted bread holds everything together with a golden, buttery crust. It’s a satisfying, flavorful take on grilled cheese that feels just a little more special than the usual.

Directions

  1. Prepare the Bread:

    Brush one side of each slice of bread with coconut oil, making sure the surface is evenly coated for a crisp, golden crust.

  2. Make the Spinach Spread:

    In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon Spinach Spreggies, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Stir until it forms a smooth paste. If it seems too dry, add a little more olive oil or vinegar; if it’s too thin, sprinkle in more Spinach Spreggies. The vinegar will taste strong at first but will balance out once paired with the cheese.

  3. Assemble the Sandwich:

    Spread the spinach mixture on the unbrushed side of one slice of bread and sprinkle the bacon over. On the other slice, spread 2 tablespoons of ricotta cheese, then layer white cheddar cheese slices over the top.

  4. Pre-Melt the Cheese (Optional):

    For a faster, more even melt, microwave the assembled sandwich for 30 seconds before grilling.

  5. Grill the Sandwich:

    Heat a pan over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is melted.

  6. Serve and Enjoy:

    Let the sandwich cool for a minute before slicing. The combination of creamy ricotta, sharp cheddar, and garlicky spinach makes for a grilled cheese that’s both comforting and full of flavor.
