Ricotta, Feta and Mint Layers with Honeyed Blood Oranges

Directions

1. In a shallow bowl or dish, mash the feta with the back of a fork. Add the ricotta and stir together very well.
2. Lightly oil a 3” x 6” mini loaf pan with olive oil.
3. Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture into the bottom of the pan. Cover with a single layer of mint leaves, and gently press them into the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Continue with another layer of cheese, followed by a layer of mint leaves, drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of sea salt. Spread the last layer of cheese on top, another drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the top layer of cheese to keep it moist.
4. Combine the honey and chopped orange segments in a bowl. Squeeze the juice from the reserved membrane onto the segments. Stir together gently.
5. Remove the plastic wrap from the cheese. Invert the mini loaf pan onto a serving dish. Spoon the honeyed oranges over top.
6. Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves. Serve with pita chips, pita bread wedges, or crostini.
