Lemon Whipped Ricotta

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roast the Ricotta

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the ricotta cheese in an oven-safe dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes until slightly golden.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomato Confit

    While the ricotta is roasting, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and toss them with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until soft and caramelized.

  3. 3

    Whip the Ricotta

    Once the ricotta is done roasting, allow it to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm ricotta with lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh herbs. Whip until creamy and smooth.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Crostini

    Slice the baguette into thin pieces and brush with olive oil. Toast the slices in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spread the lemon whipped ricotta on toasted crostini, top with the roasted tomato confit, and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
