Baked Ricotta Dip with Pecans

by Anna

Servings serves 4

This baked ricotta deserves to be on everyone’s dinner party. It’s essentially a creamy, indulgent, crowd-pleasing cheese dip made with just three ingredients: ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan. To create a fluffy mixture, we start by whipping them together with some garlic and cayenne pepper. Then we top it with pecans and jazz it up with chili flakes and oregano. Lastly we bake everything in the oven until it’s hot, golden, puffed like a cloud and turned into a killer-dip. Serve with crostini, fresh bread or crackers. Baked ricotta dip is the very definition of delicious and easy entertaining. Seriously. Tasting is believing.

You can make everything ahead and bake just before serving. It’s a great appetizer to share before a meal, or place it as a decorative centerpiece of your cheese board, surrounded by other cheeses, charcuterie, nuts and fruit.
No pecans? Use walnuts or pine nuts. You can even roast the ricotta with cherry tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes.Any leftovers? Use it as a spread, or serve it on a baguette with a side salad as a light lunch.
