Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
