I have another delicious recipe to share with you today! I love ricotta cheese so finding new ricotta recipes to try is awesome. This Ricotta and Parmesan Spread recipe is so easy and works well as a snack, party appetizers, taking to potlucks or holidays. It is so quick and easy to make and transport by toasting your bread ahead of time and taking the spread in a nice bowl to serve. I have to be honest, I made it one morning and ate way too much for breakfast one day. What? You don’t eat cheese spread when you first get up? I may have a problem, I know.
I used the spread on a lightly toasted French bread that I had sliced into 1/2 inch thick pieces and I think it was perfect. You could also use fresh vegies.
