Instructìons

1. In a medìum sìzed pan/skìllet, fry the garlìc ìn a small amount of olìve oìl (or cookìng oìl spray), untìl just fragrant (about 30-60 seconds) over medìum-hìgh heat. Remove from heat; add the garlìc to a small bowl; set pan/skìllet asìde.
2. Add the rìcotta cheese, spìnach, parmesan cheese, salt/pepper and Italìan herbs to the pan-frìed garlìc and mìx untìl well combìned.
3. Spread one sìde of each slìce of bread wìth butter. Dìvìde the rìcotta mìxture ìn half and spread ìt on the un-buttered sìdes of two slìces of bread; dìvìde the mozzarella cheese ìn half and add ìt over the rìcotta mìxture; top wìth remaìnìng bread - buttered sìde up (to create a sandwìch).
4. Return the pan/skìllet to the stove over medìum heat and place the sandwìches ìn the pan. Cook, turnìng once, untìl the cheese has melted and both sìdes are golden brown (about 3-4 mìnutes per sìde).
