Ingredients
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 tbsp. light/low-fat ricotta cheese
1 1/2 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
Dash each salt and black pepper
1 - 2 drops neon green food coloring
1 - 2 drops neon blue food coloring
1 - 2 drops neon purple food coloring
2 slices light bread
2 tsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread
Directions
In a small bowl, combine all cheeses and seasonings. Mix well.
Evenly distribute cheese mixture into three small bowls. Add a drop of green food coloring to the first bowl, and stir until uniform. (Add another drop for richer color.) Repeat with remaining colors and bowls, giving you a green mixture, a blue mixture, and a purple mixture.
Lay one bread slice flat. Cover 1/3rd of the slice with the green mixture, 1/3rd with the blue mixture, and the remaining 1/3rd with the purple mixture.
Top with the other bread slice. Spread the top of the sandwich with 1 tsp. butter.
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat.
Carefully place sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down.
Spread the top with remaining 1 tsp. butter.
Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side, flipping carefully.

HG Tip: Check out the natural food colors by India Tree. Mix red & blue to create purple, and combine yellow & blue for green. Easy!
