Baked marinated ricotta

Baked marinated ricotta is a flavorful and simple dish that's perfect for appetizers or as a part of a main course. By combining creamy ricotta with fresh herbs and seasoning, then baking it to perfection, you get a versatile dish that is both delicious and elegant.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup ricotta cheese
72g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 dash salt
1g
1 tsp black pepper
2g
1 tbsp chives
16g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add Herbs:
Add the chopped chives, thyme, and parsley to the ricotta mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the cheese.
4. Transfer to Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe ramekin with olive oil. Spoon the ricotta mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
5. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the ricotta is slightly golden and set.
6. Cool and Serve:
Remove the baked ricotta from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
7. Serving Suggestions:
Serve with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. It’s also delicious as a spread on toast or as part of an appetizer platter.

Tips:

- Ensure the ricotta is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the final dish.

- You can add a drizzle of honey before baking for a slightly sweet twist.

- Experiment with other herbs such as basil or oregano to customize the flavor to your liking.

- Serve the baked ricotta warm with toasted baguette slices or crackers for the best experience.

- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven.

Baked marinated ricotta is a versatile recipe that enhances any meal. It’s quick to prepare but packed with flavor, making it suitable for both everyday dinners and special occasions. Enjoy it with a slice of crusty bread or as a delightful addition to a salad.
