Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 ounce whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 4 ounce fresh goat cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • fresh cracked black pepper
  • 6 ounce blackberries
  • 2 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Spritz a 9" oval baking dish with cooking spray. (Any shallow baking dish with at least a 3-cup volume will do.)
  • Add the ricotta + goat cheeses, egg, all the lemon zest and 1 tsp of lemon juice, thyme, salt and several grinds of black pepper into the bowl of a food processor. Blend for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Pour into the baking dish.
  • Distribute the blackberries over the top of the ricotta. Bake for 30 minutes until the blackberries are saucy and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Drizzle with honey and garnish with additional thyme and coarse salt. Serve with toasted bread or crackers.
