Cheeses
Amerena Cherries
Buttermilk Flatbread
Method
Preparing Cheeses
Slice the Cheeses
Begin by slicing the mozzarella, gorgonzola, and parmesan cheeses into thin pieces. Set aside.
Dollop Ricotta
Spoon the ricotta cheese into small mounds on a serving platter.
Preparing Amerena Cherries
Prepare the Cherries
Open the jar of Amerena cherries and drain the syrup. Reserve the syrup for drizzling later.
Arrange on Cheese
Place the cherries on top of the ricotta cheese mounds for a delightful contrast.
Making Buttermilk Flatbread
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the buttermilk and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Cook the Flatbread
Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into flat rounds. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serving
Plate the Dish
On a large serving platter, arrange the sliced cheeses and the ricotta topped with cherries. Drizzle the reserved cherry syrup over the cheese.
Serve with Flatbread
Serve the cheese and cherries alongside the warm buttermilk flatbreads for guests to enjoy.
