Baked Herbed Ricotta

Ingredients

  • 250 g tub smooth ricotta
  • 2 tbs finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs beaten lightly
  • 1 teaspoon each of parsley, chive and sage leaves finely chopped
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tbs olive oil

Serves 2 – 3

Preparation

  • Combine ricotta, parmesan, and eggs in a bowl.
  • Stir through, chopped herbs and season with pepper.
  • Spoon into a 2 cup silicone log container, smooth the top and place on the rim of the turntable.
  • Cover loosely with paper towel and cook on Medium (50 – 60 %) for 5 – 6 minutes, moving to the opposite of the turntable halfway through cooking time.
  • Remove from microwave, drizzle with oil and then place in a preheated conventional oven for 6-7 minutes to turn golden.
  • Serve sliced with a roasted capsicum salad.

Tips
Silicone containers can be purchased in supermarkets cheaply and may be used in both microwave and conventional ovens.
Speedy microwave cooking eliminates the need for baking in a water bath as required in a regular oven, and halves the cooking time.
