Notes
Notes: To toast the bread slices, lay them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Brush with olive oil or melted butter. Bake in the oven or grill for 15 minutes.
If you would rather have a whipped ricotta that's not chunky and is a lighter feeling cheese, you can easily do that instead!
While regular ricotta is a soft, grainy cheese with a slightly gritty texture, whipped ricotta is made by blending regular ricotta in a bowl or food processor with a very small amount of cream or milk until it becomes smooth and airy (adding more as needed). Whipped ricotta has a lighter, fluffier texture and a milder flavor compared to regular ricotta.
