Author Notes

The day I discovered how to make my own ricotta was the most inspiring day. I am such a scientist at heart,even though as an undergrad I majored in English because my mother told me everyone needed to know how to write. Making the ricotta took me back to my days in chemistry class, as I poured the vinegar into the heated pot of milk and the curds instantly began to form. What a treat for an ol' science geek. Hope you enjoy this simple spread! —Table9

  • 1 cup Homemade Ricotta

  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Directions
  1. With a hand mixer, whip together the ricotta, feta and milk until smooth. Add the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon of thyme. Place ricotta spread in a serving dish. Sprinkle remaining thyme, black pepper and drizzle with honey to complete. Serve with toast, apples and berries or enjoy on a grilled veggie sandwich!

Thanks hardlikearmour! I just ate it with some lovely crackers with it for dinner last night. Needless to say, there is very little remaining. Hope you have a chance to try it!
