Notes
- If the ricotta has too much liquid around, it is best to drain it so it does not mess with its texture while baking. Simply pop it into a sieve and drain well.
- It it best to have the ricotta and egg at room temperature before baking, otherwise it might crack on top. If you like a charred top, rather than golden, you can put it under the grill for 5 minutes at the end of the baking time.
- Drizzling honey over it while it is still hot out of the oven will enhance its flavours. You can drizzle more as you serve it if you like it on the sweeter side.
