Creamy Baked Ricotta Dip
Description
The dip combines ricotta cheese with minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and half of the rosemary to form a creamy base seasoned with salt and pepper. Mozzarella and Parmesan are sprinkled on top before baking at 400°F, then broiled briefly to brown the cheese.
This method creates a contrast between the soft, creamy interior and the golden, slightly crisp top. The lemon juice adds brightness while the rosemary provides a fragrant herbal note. The accompanying toasted baguette offers a crunch to complement the dip's smooth texture.
Serve the dip warm as a flavorful starter or shareable snack. It pairs well with fresh bread, crackers, or vegetable crudités, capturing a balance of mild cheeses and fresh seasonings without overpowering richness.
