For more irresistibly cheesy holiday appetizers, try our gruyère cheese fondue and pomegranate baked brie.
Fresh or frozen cranberries: both fresh or frozen cranberries work here. They add a wonderful pop of sweet-tart flavor and bright red festive color. Honey: any variety of runny honey works. Cayenne: cayenne pepper is optional but gives this dip a touch of heat and brings it to life! Ricotta cheese: since the ricotta is the star ingredient, we use a good quality whole milk ricotta cheese for its decadent and rich flavor. Steer clear of the skim milk and fat free varieities which can be watery. Lemon zest and fresh lemon juice: lemon’s bright citrus flavor offsets the creaminess of this dip. We use the juice and the zest for extra dimension. Black pepper: a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper adds a little kick and an additional layer of flavor. Toasted baguette slices: some toasted baguette slices, crostini, or your favorite crackers for serving. Use gluten free bread or crackers if needed.
How to make grilled baguette slices
To make grilled baguette slices, brush both sides with a little olive oil and grill them on a grill pan. Flip them so they have nice grill marks on both sides and sprinkle them with sea salt before serving ’em warm!
