Ingredients
  

4 slices of whole grain bread

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup mixed fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, banana slices)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for grilling)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Using a spatula or whisk, mix until the ingredients are entirely smooth and well blended. Set this mixture aside for assembly.

    Assemble the Sandwich: Take two slices of whole grain bread and spread a generous layer of the prepared ricotta mixture on each slice. On one slice, evenly distribute the fresh mixed fruits. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the fruit. Finally, place the second slice of bread on top, pressing down slightly to create a sandwich.

      Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the pan and let it melt, swirling to coat the surface evenly. Once the butter is fully melted, place your assembled sandwich in the pan. Grill until the bread is golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes.

        Flip and Continue Grilling: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter around the edges of the bread in the pan. Continue grilling the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bread achieves a golden hue.

          Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for about a minute. Drizzle a bit of extra honey over the top and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch. Slice the sandwich in half for easy serving.

            Enjoy: Serve the sandwich immediately while it’s warm and enjoy the delightful fusion of flavors in this grilled fruit pizza sandwich melt!
