Ricotta with Hot Honey & Fried Garlic

February 6, 2023

Quick, simple, cheap, yet delicious appetizer. Literally what more could you ask for.

I feel like burrata gets a lot of hype for doing the bare minimum. Yes, it’s creamy. But so is ricotta? I prefer serving a ricotta spread like this over a ball or two of burrata when entertaining because it’s much easier to eat / share and it’s also less expensive.

Ricotta is also the perfect blank canvas for endless flavor combinations. Go crazy and customize this to your liking.

I believe in happy & whole food that’s equally as fun to make as it is to eat.

LOVE this dip. so easy to make and such a crowd pleaser. i didn’t have hot honey, so i added some red pepper flakes in with the garlic when it was frying for some heat. i’ve made this so many times and it’s so delicious!

Made this recipe for book club and it was a huge hit! 10/10!!
