Ingredients

Dairy

  • 1
    15 oz Fresh Ricotta Cheese

Nuts and Seeds

  • 1
    0.25 cup Mixed Nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 2
    0.25 cup Mixed Seeds (such as pumpkin, sunflower, sesame)

Seasoning

  • 1
    0.5 tbsp Honey
  • 2
    0.25 tsp Sea Salt
  • 3
    0.25 tsp Black Pepper

Optional Garnish

  • 1
    0.1 cup Fresh Herbs (such as thyme, rosemary)

Directions

1

Prepare Ricotta

Place the ricotta cheese in a serving bowl. The texture should be creamy and slightly moist.

2

Chop Nuts

If the mixed nuts are not already chopped, roughly chop them using a knife on a cutting board. Be careful when handling sharp knives.

3

Toast Nuts and Seeds

Gently toast the mixed nuts and seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on them and stir frequently to prevent burning. You'll notice a change in aroma as they toast. If you don't have a skillet, you can toast the nuts and seeds on a baking sheet in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes. The nuts and seeds are ready when they become fragrant and lightly browned.

Add Nuts and Seeds

Sprinkle the toasted nuts and seeds over the ricotta cheese.

5

Add Seasoning

Drizzle the honey over the ricotta, nuts, and seeds. Add a pinch of sea salt and a grind of fresh black pepper over the top.

6

Garnish and Serve

If desired, garnish with fresh herbs before serving for added flavor and visual appeal. You can serve immediately or chill for a later time. Serve with crackers, bread, or as a topping for salads or roasted vegetables.

Recipe Tips

  • For a smoother texture, you can use a spoon to break up the ricotta slightly before adding the toppings.
  • Use a high-quality honey for the best flavor.
  • Add dried fruit like cranberries or apricots for a touch of sweetness and chewiness.
  • Store leftover ricotta mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
