Lemon Ricotta Dip
Creamy delicious ricotta dip with a burst of citrusy lemon flavor. A warm cheesy dip perfect on toasted sliced bread.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup Romano Cheese, grated or Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- garnish- fresh herbs and flowers

Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl or skillet and heat thoroughly.
- Give it a taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Place under a hot broiler to firm up the top and get a nice golden color. I use a cast iron comal. Any oven-safe dish, casserole, or baking sheet will work.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and flowers.
- Serve with sliced toasted baguette or crackers.
- Cast iron works well for keeping the dip to stay warm when serving.
