Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings servings

  • 1 loaf italian bread

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

  • 1 tablespoon italian seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules

  • 2 cups spinach

  • 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves

  • 2 tomatoes, sliced

  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

  • 12 ounces prosciutto

  • 1/3 cup ricotta

  • 1 tablespoon pesto

Directions

  1. Slice bread on the diagonal to get 12 slices.

  2. Brush each slice of bread with olive oil. Mix Italian seasoning and garlic granules together; sprinkle over bread slices.

  3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, and place bread oil-side-down on the pan until grill marks form, about 3 minutes. Remove bread to a board.

  4. Mix spinach and basil leaves together. Divide leaves evenly over 6 slices of bread; layer these 6 bread slices with equal amounts prosciutto, sliced tomato, and sliced mozzarella.

  5. Stir pesto and ricotta together in a small bowl. Spread a generous 1 tablespoon mixture onto remaining 6 bread slices, and place on top of each sandwich.
