Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1/2 cup blackberries (slightly mashed)
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 basil leaves (cut into thin ribbons)
- 8 slices multigrain or whole wheat bread
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 pound ham (thinly sliced)
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (for the pan)
Instruction
- In a bowl, mash together the blackberries, ricotta and basil with a fork.
- Spread the outside of each slice of bread with about half a tablespoon of the softened butter.
- Place about 1 oz. of mozzarella on a slice of bread, top with about a quarter of the ricotta mixture, two slices of ham, and another 1 oz. of mozzarella cheese. Top with another slice of buttered bread.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat.
- Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Covering the pan with a lid during cooking will help melt the cheese.
