Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine ricotta, sugar, vanilla, zest (if using), egg, and pinch of salt. Mix well to combine. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter and honey on high until butter melts, 30 to 45 seconds. Stir well to combine.
- Lay 1 sheet phyllo on a work surface (cover other sheets with a lightly damp towel). Using a pastry brush, gently brush with honey mixture. Lay 2 more sheets phyllo on top, brushing each with honey mixture. Cut crosswise into 4 rectangles. Place 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture at one end of each rectangle; gently fold phyllo around ricotta like a flag. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 sheets phyllo. Bake until golden brown and shiny, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with more honey.

GRILLED HONEY-NECTARINE RICOTTA TOAST
This sweet and creamy ricotta toast makes the perfect brunch or mid-day snack. Grilling the fruit adds a lovely caramelized flavor, topped with the sweetness from the honey, crunch from the almonds and brightness from the hint of fresh mint. Use a thick-cut crusty bread like sourdough so it can stand up to the toppings.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil onto a small plate. Place nectarine wedges on the plate and cover all sides with oil. Brush both sides of bread with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Place nectarines onto the hot grate and grill 1 to 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. When nectarine wedges have cooled slightly, cut each wedge in 1/2 lengthwise so you now have 16 pieces.
- Place bread slices onto the hot grate and cook until grill marks appear and bread is toasted, about 1 minute per side; remove to a plate.
- Spread ricotta cheese onto each slice of toast. Arrange 8 nectarine slices onto each toast and top with almonds. Sprinkle with mint and drizzle with honey. Cut each toast in half and serve.

CHERRY RICOTTA TURNOVERS
Working with phyllo dough is the perfect occasion for letting go of any judgment about yourself and your skills. First, it must be said that buying frozen phyllo, instead of making it from scratch, is perfectly acceptable. You'll never catch any shade from me. Second, it is exceptionally forgiving. Yes, it rips. It folds over onto itself. It looks messy. But if you just slather each layer with butter, the whole thing will come together like a dream. And the ragged bits only add to the beauty of the final product. Just let the praise roll in. You deserve it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, fold together the ricotta, confectioners' sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, cinnamon, and cloves.
- Cut the 16 phyllo sheets lengthwise into 4 1/2-inch-wide strips. Cover with a barely damp towel while you work.
- Set a strip on a work surface, with the long side facing you, and brush the entire strip with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar, then top with another strip.
- Brush the top with butter. Top with 1 tablespoon of the ricotta filling and 1 tablespoon of the cherries in the center about 1 inch from the left-side end. Gently pull the top left corner down, over the filling, to meet the bottom edge and form a triangle. Butter the top of the triangle.
- Now, gently grab the bottom left corner and lift it up to meet the top edge and wrap the triangle one more time.
- Brush the top with butter. Continue to fold the corners, as you would fold a flag, buttering every dry surface, until the sheet is completely folded into a large triangle. Transfer to 1 of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining phyllo, butter, sugar and filling.
- Sprinkle the turnovers with granulated sugar. With a sharp paring knife, cut a small slit in the top of each turnover, taking care not to pierce through to the other side. Bake until puffed and deep golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with honey to serve, if you like.
Tips:
- To make the dough, use cold butter and cream cheese. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more flour a little at a time until it is smooth and elastic.
- When rolling out the dough, use a floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
- To make the filling, use fresh ricotta cheese. This will give the turnovers a creamy and light texture.
- To sweeten the filling, you can add sugar, honey, or maple syrup. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- To make the turnovers, place a spoonful of filling in the center of a dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges to seal.
- Bake the turnovers in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Serve the turnovers warm or at room temperature with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Honey ricotta turnovers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a sweet and creamy filling and a flaky crust, these turnovers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack or dessert, give honey ricotta turnovers a try.
