This herb whipped ricotta recipe is a creamy and flavorful spread that is perfect for any time of day. This appetizer is easy to make and can be served with a variety of different breads, crackers, tossed in pasta, on sandwiches and even vegetables.
Whole milk ricotta cheese, fresh basil, fresh parsley, fresh chives, fresh dill, lemon juice and zest, garlic cloves, extra-virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper, bread or baguette of choice
Start by preparing your ingredients. Rinse and roughly chop your fresh herbs.
Combine the ricotta cheese, fresh herbs (dill, basil, chives, and parsley), lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic cloves. Pulse until the mixture is creamy and whipped.
Set the whipped ricotta aside until ready to serve. For best results, transfer it to the fridge to firm up and allow the flavors to combine for at least 30 minutes.
While the whipped ricotta is chilling, prepare your bread or baguette. Toast it until it is crispy and golden brown.
Once the bread is ready, spread a generous amount of whipped ricotta on each slice, or serve a separate bowl of the ricotta sprinkled with a little bit of pepper and fresh herbs of choice.
