Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 pound fresh ricotta cheese
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Grilled or toasted crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the ricotta, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and the red pepper flakes in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
Transfer to a 2-cup ramekin and sprinkle with the parmesan. Bake until golden and bubbling, about 15 minutes. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with bread.

Tips:

Use whole-milk ricotta for a richer, creamier texture.
If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a skillet instead.
Be careful not to overcook the ricotta, as it can become dry and crumbly.
Serve the ricotta immediately, or it will start to lose its creamy texture.
Top the ricotta with your favorite toppings, such as fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Baked ricotta with lemon, garlic, and chives is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover ricotta cheese. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
