Easy Hors d'Å“uvre: Baked Ricotta

Tim and I both love fresh ricotta so I couldn’t resist picking some up when I was at Whole Foods yesterday.

I decided to bake the ricotta like they do at one of our neighborhood restaurants, Corsino.  I drizzled a little olive oil on top of the ricotta and sprinkled with salt, red pepper flakes, and some chopped parsley and basil.  I baked the ricotta at 325 degrees for about 10 minutes and served with some toasted baguette slices.

It was a delicious prelude to our dinner and can be a super easy hors d’oeuvre next time you entertain!
