This easy recipe for Whipped Ricotta comes together in just minutes.  It can be made ahead of time and served at room temperature.  Making it perfect for a go-to appetizer for a gathering with friends or for a simple Friday night.   Store-bought ricotta is used here.  Or consider making your own as shown in this post when you are feeling adventurous.  


Whipped Ricotta, Feta & Honey
1 1/2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons honey
1-2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

Add ricotta, feta, olive oil, and salt to the bowl of a food processor.  Process until smooth and fully combined, about 2 minutes.  Spoon the whipped ricotta into a serving bowl.  Drizzle with honey, olive oil, top with a few thyme leaves.  Serve with olive oil toasted crostini.  


Olive Oil Toasted Crostini
1 medium loaf ciabatta or baguette
7-8 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Slice the bread into 1/2-inch-thick slices.  Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides, placing each onto a large sheet pan.  Place the sheet pan into the hot oven, toasting the crostini until golden brown on each side.  This should take 8-10 minutes.  Rotate the sheet pan as needed for even toasting.
