Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ricotta

    In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh ricotta cheese, fresh thyme leaves, lemon zest, truffle oil, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Warm the Ricotta

    Transfer the ricotta mixture to an oven-safe dish and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Crostini

    While the ricotta is warming, prepare the crostini. Toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the ricotta from the oven and serve warm alongside the toasted crostini. Drizzle with additional truffle oil if desired.
