Baked herbed ricotta

Baked Herbed Ricotta is a simple yet delicious dish that combines creamy ricotta with fresh herbs for a flavorful appetizer or spread. This easy recipe is perfect for entertaining or enjoying as a tasty snack.

Ingredients:

1 cup ricotta cheese
230g
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
27g
2 tbsp chives
30g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a rack in the middle position.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Choose a small baking dish or oven-safe ramekin. Lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
3. Mix the Ingredients:
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.
4. Season (Optional):
If desired, season the mixture with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix again to incorporate the seasoning.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish:
Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake:
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.
7. Cool Slightly:
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.
8. Serve:
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.
