This was vary easy and very good. I added 2 additional tablespoons of Parmesan mixed into the dip for added flavor. I agree with the other review that garlic would be a nice a nice addition but I think garlic makes everything better!

We love this! We sometimes add some minced garlic and it’s delicious. A light and refreshing baked dip served best with slices of toasted baguette! Yum!
Elizabeth Morgan
Not good, just not much flavor. My two guests wouldn’t even touch it after their first bite. Left a lot to be desired.
Jeffrey Peterson
Wonderful served with a toasted baguette. I used fresh ricotta and increased the rosemary and thyme just slightly. When I make again I’ll stick to the amounts in the recipe as the herb flavor was almost a bit overpowering, but still delicious and super simple to make.
