Grilled Ricotta Cheese

If you don’t like grilled cheese, I’m really not sure we can be friends! Okay, maybe we can, I’ll take it under consideration. But guys. You’ve gotta try this grilled ricotta cheese!

The ricotta is so creamy, and a little salty. The bread has the best crunch. A little basil whipped into the ricotta and dropped on top – so summery!

If you haven’t tried mayo in lieu of cheese in a grilled cheese, you’re really missing out. The mayo gets the bread nice and caramelized in a way that butter just doesn’t. And I’m pretty convinced it just imparts more flavor!

So, you’ll take about a cup of ricotta and a few table spoons of mozzarella and mix them up together. A dash of salt, garlic powder, red flake pepper and chopped basil added to the ricotta up the flavor x 10.

Get the bread good and crispy, then sprinkle some chiffonade basil over and serve with pesto. So simple!

You could even make these as an appetizer, just slice the bread after its cooked in smaller pieces!
