This traditional Italian soft cheese is white in colour, has a light, fresh taste and a luxurious, creamy texture. Ricotta has many sweet and savoury uses and is traditionally used to make fillings for fresh, filled pasta, as it combines well with other flavours such as spinach, basil, crab and blue cheese. You can also enjoy it in many Italian-style desserts and cakes such as cannolis, zeppoles and crostatas.

Egg and Whipped Ricotta Toast
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Serves: 2

Try our jammy boiled eggs with whipped ricotta. Think crusty sourdough toasted and smothered in creamy thick Italian cheese. Ricotta has a mild cheesy flavour which works well with the soft jamminess of boiled eggs. It also marries perfectly with a hint of chilli, slight sour hit of lemon and pungent aroma of coriander. This simple recipe is packed with plenty of flavour and can be whipped up in 10 mins.

Ingredients:
100g ricotta
½ lemon, zested
2 medium eggs
20g salted butter
1 tsp chilli flakes
2 slices of sourdough
5g coriander, finely chopped

Method
Step 1
Place the ricotta and lemon zest in a bowl, whip until fluffy and season to taste.

Step 2
Bring a pan of water to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Gently add the eggs and cook for 7 mins to get them soft and oozy. Place the eggs in cold water. Peel and set aside.

Step 3
Place butter and chilli flakes in a saucepan and melt. Toast the sourdough.

Step 4
Top the sourdough with the whipped ricotta mixture and halve the eggs. Drizzle with the melted chilli butter, garnish with chopped coriander and grab a fork.
