Homemade Ricotta Ingredients

Method

Ricotta Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Ricotta

    In a large pot, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and salt. Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the white vinegar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until curds form.

  2. 2

    Drain the Curds

    Line a colander with cheesecloth and pour the curds into it. Let drain for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Flavor the Ricotta

    Once drained, transfer the ricotta to a bowl. Stir in the roasted garlic and red chile flakes. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    Chop the scallions and toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet until fragrant. Pickle grapes if using fresh.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the baguette and grill it until golden. Spread the ricotta on the toasted baguette slices and top with pickled grapes, scallions, toasted hazelnuts, a drizzle of olive oil, and Wethersfield honey.
