Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs, like basil, dill, chives, parsley, thyme
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and pepper
- hot honey, for drizzling
- 1 loaf sourdough bread, sliced thick
- olive or avocado oil spray
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to the highest setting.
- In a large bowl, whisk together ricotta, lemon zest, juice, herbs, olive oil, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- Slice the sourdough bread thickly and arrange it on a baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil spray and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Grill the bread for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and grill for 1 to 2 more minutes until golden and charred. Remove from grill and cut into strips for dipping if desired.
- Serve the grilled bread with the ricotta mixture, drizzling extra olive oil and hot honey on top, and add more fresh herbs as a garnish.
Notes
For an extra flavor kick, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the ricotta mixture.
Ensure the grill is well-preheated to achieve the perfect grill marks on the bread.
Feel free to customize the herbs based on your preference or seasonal availability.
