In a small bowl, combine the Bellwether Farms Whole Milk Basket Ricotta with honey or salt, depending on your desired flavor profile. Stir in fresh herbs if using. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over one slice of bread. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the ricotta for added creaminess. Add any optional toppings, then place the second slice of bread on top to form the sandwich.
Spread softened butter on the outer sides of both slices of bread.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula. Cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese filling is warm.
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
