Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings. Mix until smooth.
  2. Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture on one side of each bread slice. Layer fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella on one slice. Top with the second slice, ricotta side down.
