Preparation

How to prepare Baked Ricotta

To make baked ricotta, first let the ricotta drain in a colander for about ten minutes. Meanwhile, clean the onion and slice it thinly 1. Line a baking dish with parchment paper, distribute the onions at the bottom, and place the ricotta in the center 2, then add the whole cherry tomatoes 3.

Season with salt and oil 4, then sprinkle everything with breadcrumbs 5. Make a cross cut on the surface of the ricotta: this way the seasoning will penetrate inside 6.

Finally, flavor with some sprigs of rosemary 7 and thyme. Add a bit of pepper 8 and another drizzle of oil, then bake in a preheated static oven at 400°F for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve your baked ricotta immediately 9!
