How to Make Baked Ricotta With Parmesan And Thyme

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, gently roll 15 ounces (425g) of ricotta cheese in the Parmesan mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the coated ricotta to a lightly greased baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
  5. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the ricotta is golden brown and heated through. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar before serving.
  7. Serve warm with crusty bread, an assortment of crackers, and your favorite wine.
