Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, olive oil, fresh thyme (leaves only), minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Baking

3

Transfer the ricotta mixture to a baking dish, spreading it evenly.

4

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and the cheese is warmed through.

Bread Preparation

5

While the ricotta is baking, slice the baguette or crusty bread into 1-inch thick slices.

6

Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil and grill them on a pan or grill until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serving

7

Once the ricotta is baked, remove it from the oven and drizzle with honey before serving.

8

Serve the baked ricotta hot with the grilled bread on the side for dipping.
