  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

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

  1. Preheat the grill to the highest setting.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together ricotta, lemon zest, juice, herbs, olive oil, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

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.
