About Baked ricotta cheese

Baked Ricotta Cheese is a creamy and flavorful dish that showcases the versatility of this soft Italian cheese. Originating from Italian cuisine, ricotta is made from whey leftover from other cheeses, lending it a light, slightly sweet flavor. When baked, it develops a golden crust while retaining its tender, moist texture. Common ingredients include ricotta, eggs, olive oil, herbs like basil or thyme, and seasoning such as salt and pepper. This dish is rich in protein and calcium, essential for strong bones and muscle development. It’s also lower in fat compared to some other cheeses, making it a relatively healthier indulgence. However, its calorie and sodium content can add up, especially if paired with bread or additional oils. Baked Ricotta Cheese is a hearty, nutrient-rich option that’s perfect for dips, spreads, or a savory appetizer with a Mediterranean flair.
