Baked ricotta dip is one of those dishes that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. It’s a recipe I stumbled upon during a trip to Italy a few years ago, and it has since become a staple at my gatherings. The creamy, dreamy texture combined with a crispy, golden-brown top makes it irresistible. Whether you’re hosting a cozy dinner party or just want a comforting snack after a long day, this dip is your go-to. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to whip up, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
This baked ricotta dip pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. I love serving it with a crusty baguette or some crunchy crostini. For a lighter option, fresh veggies like bell peppers, carrots, and celery sticks work wonders. If you’re feeling a bit indulgent, try it with some homemade pita chips or even as a spread on a sandwich. Trust me, it’s versatile enough to complement almost anything you have on hand.
