Ingredients:

Ricotta Filling (makes enough for 2 sandwiches)

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

Put a slice of mozzarella cheese on each piece.
Spread the ricotta filling over the cheese.
Press the slices together, cheese on the inside.
Lightly spread butter on the outside of both slices for an extra golden, crispy finish. (Optional)

Toast It in the Revolution Toastie Press:

Why Make This Ricotta Spread Grilled Cheese in the Revolution Toastie Press?

This sandwich was made for the Toastie Press. The soft ricotta filling can easily spill or cook unevenly in a pan, but the press seals the edges and keeps everything contained while it cooks. You get even, edge-to-edge crispiness on the outside and a perfectly warm, creamy center inside, with the mozzarella fully melted and the ricotta staying rich instead of drying out. It also removes the guesswork—no flipping, no mess—just consistent, repeatable results every time.
