Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 12 ounces of whole milk ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice adjust with more if preferred
- 1/2 of lemon zest
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil adjust with more as needed
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Bread or baguette of choice
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Rinse and roughly chop your fresh herbs.
- In a food processor, or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or hand-mixer, 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, and the crostini around a platter to serve as you go.
