Ricotta cheese dips are velvety by nature. Combining it with egg whites creates a light, airiness, like in a soufflé. Adding in fresh parsley, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, and red pepper flakes enhances the overall flavour, creating a subtle, cheesy taste. With a finishing drizzle of good olive oil, this dip is sure to impress.

    Hello want to try this. But not sure about egg whites. Do we add whites just like that or whipped egg whites ?
    Thanks

      I recommend using regular egg whites from a carton. You can also separate the egg yolk and the whites when cracking an egg.

    I can eat Ricotta Cheese out of the container with a spoon, when I stumbled upon this Recipe I knew I was going to make it this week. Heading to the Grocery Store tomorrow, I’ve checked out many of your Recipes & I will be giving many of them a try. My Husband and Son are always the first to try out a recipe before I serve it to the rest of my Family. Thank you for having a great site, looking forward to seeing more.

    We tried this once and loved it! This time we were looking for a spinach dip recipe that didn’t have sour cream or cream cheese and couldn’t find one so we used this recipe but added mozzarella, parmesean and spinach. It. Is. AMAZING!!!!
