1
Prepare the Ricotta
In a medium mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the ricotta until it becomes smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
2
Add Lemon Zest and Juice
Zest the lemon and then squeeze the juice. Add both the lemon zest and juice to the whipped ricotta, mixing until fully incorporated.
3
Chop Fresh Herbs
Rinse and dry the fresh herbs. Finely chop the herbs and fold them into the ricotta mixture. Reserve a small amount for garnish.
4
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Incorporate the extra virgin olive oil into the whipped ricotta, mixing gently. The olive oil will add a rich flavor and creaminess.
5
Prepare Focaccia
Slice the focaccia bread into desired serving pieces. You can toast them lightly in the oven for added texture, if desired.
6
Finish with Spicy Honey
Transfer the whipped ricotta to a serving bowl. Drizzle the spicy honey over the top and garnish with the reserved fresh herbs.
