Ingredients
-
1 (15-16 ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
-
¾ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese (3 oz.)
-
¼ cup snipped fresh basil
-
2 tablespoon snipped fresh oregano
-
2 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 tsp. regular salt
-
1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
-
1 8 ounce loaf baguette-style French bread, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and/or assorted vegetable dippers
Directions
-
In a bowl beat ricotta on medium 2 minutes. Add Parmesan. Beat until combined. Stir in next six ingredients (through salt). (If the spread seems a little dry, stir in olive oil.) Cover and chill 1 hour or up to 12 hours.

Preheat oven to 425°F. Place bread slices on a large baking sheet. Bake about 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Turn slices over. Bake about 3 minutes more or until lightly toasted; let cool. Serve spread with cooled toast slices and/or vegetable dippers.
