Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a rack in the middle position.
Choose a small baking dish or oven-safe ramekin. Lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped chives, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
If desired, season the mixture with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix again to incorporate the seasoning.
Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the mixture is hot and bubbly.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to firm up slightly.
Serve warm with crusty bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks. It makes a perfect appetizer or a delicious addition to a grazing board.
Tips:
- Make sure to use high-quality ricotta cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary to customize the flavor to your liking.
- For a bit of a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes into the mixture before baking.
- Serve the baked ricotta immediately after removing it from the oven for the best creamy consistency.
- You can also add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt over the top just before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
Baked Herbed Ricotta is not only quick to prepare but also a crowd-pleaser, offering a harmonious blend of creamy cheese and fresh herbs. Serve it warm with crusty bread or crackers for a delightful treat that is sure to impress.
