Ingredients
  

4 slices of whole grain bread

1 cup of ricotta cheese

1/4 cup honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, and 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 bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

    Assemble the Sandwich: Take two slices of whole grain bread and spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture on each slice. Top one slice with an assortment of the mixed fresh fruits, and then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Place the second slice of bread over the fruit and cheese to create a sandwich.

      Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in the pan. Once melted, place the sandwich in the pan and grill until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on one side.

        Flip and Continue Grilling: Carefully flip the sandwich, adding the remaining tablespoon of butter around the edges of the bread. Grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.

          Serve: Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it cool for a minute. Drizzle honey over the top and garnish with fresh mint leaves before slicing it in half.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, and savor the deliciousness of the grilled fruit pizza sandwich melt!
