Adding ricotta to Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a great twist to a classic rainy day sandwich. It is also very easy to make and very quick. Add Campari tomato

Grilled cheese sandwich that has ricotta cheese in it? Yes, it is possible and it also very scrumptious.

Don’t take my word for it. Make it yourself or listen to my family members.

This grilled cheese sandwich is a staple around my household, especially when the weather outside is cold and frightful.

When I pair this sandwich with my homemade tomato soup, I am seen as a cook sent from heaven.

Alright, I am not from heaven, but, very close to it (New Jersey). I do share everyone’s love for this classic “snow day” comfort food.

Lately, I have been trying to make classic recipes but put a simple twist on the dish. The ricotta cheese is the twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich.

Be warned, though, the ricotta cheese makes the grilled cheese sandwich very heavy in the calorie department. This just means that you will spend an extra hour at the gym. So, no big deal, right?

Now, a great grilled cheese sandwich deserves to be paired with the best tomato available on earth.

Enter: The Campari Tomato!

The Campari tomato is light on acidity, great on sweetness and good for the human body. So, at least, I can claim that this sandwich has a healthy component.

Most people don’t really associate the Rosemary and Olive Oil demi loaf with any sandwiches. People are normally used to only seeing this bread in Italian restaurant given away as free appetizer.

It can easily be found at the baker section of your supermarket. However, if you ever have two and a half hours, feel free to make this bread at home. There is nothing better than smelling the aroma of fresh rosemary bread coming from the kitchen. The best recipe I have found for this bread is from Table For Two’s Blog.

Today, I have found a better use for this bread. Just look at that wholesome loaf goodness! It makes for a very crispy grilled cheese sandwich and also prevents the whole dish from getting too soggy.

If you think ricotta is too strange to add to a sandwich, then, you shouldn’t try my grilled cheese with chocolate or my Brussels sprouts grilled cheese!!

However, there is no way around it. This is one messy sandwich. You are going to need lots of napkins for this grilled cheese sandwich with ricotta.

If you have any campari tomatoes left over, turn them into Pasta Pomodoro. I also have another messy sandwich that a fresh mozzarella sandwich with arugula pesto
