Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chopped chives, thyme, and parsley to the ricotta mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the cheese.
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.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the ricotta is slightly golden and set.
Remove the baked ricotta from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
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.
