How To Make Baked Ricotta Cheese Dip

Preheat your oven 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and seasoning together.

Place the mixture into your baking dish. Take the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and sprinkle on the top. Cook for 15 minutes. For the remaining 5 minutes, set your oven to broil and keep an eye on it!

The broiling portion will make the cheese top brown and crisp it right up! But again, please make sure you are checking it often. I say five minutes – but sometimes I pull it out after three if it looks good to me.

Serve with sliced pieces of baguette bread, crackers, or whatever you’d like.

What Else Can I Add To This Dip?

If you’d like, you could also add some fresh rosemary to this ricotta cheese dip. It would pair nicely with the other flavor profiles that already exist. Since I usually make this with whatever I have on hand, I don’t always have fresh rosemary around. HOWEVER, if you are going food shopping, consider picking up a bunch.

If you wanted to saute some onions and then stir them into the mix before baking, that would also work. I would just be sure to cook the onions beforehand to make sure that they have enough time to soften.
