Why You’ll Love Whipped Ricotta Dip
It’s BRIE and RICOTTA, I feel like that is reason enough, but I will give you more because yeah, it is that good. This recipe is super quick and easy to make. I love it when I’m hosting people and I need a last minute appetizer. The honey and the caramelized onions add that sweet and savory element that makes this recipe sooo good. This recipe is very versatile, you can play with the toppings or just leave it as is. It is honestly delicious even without toppings!
How To Prepare Whipped Ricotta Dip
🧅 First, slice the onions very thinly. Preheat a pan for 2 minutes on medium high. Then, add a tiny bit of olive oil and the onions. Lower heat to low.
💧 Secondly, let them caramelize for about 45-50 minutes, mixing them in between every little bit. I like adding 1 tbsp water once or twice in the process.
🧈 Then, add in balsamic and Tamari. Cook another 5 minutes. Then, turn heat off and add in the butter and salt.
🧀 Remove the rind from the brie and cube.
🍯 Then, add to a food processor with the ricotta and honey. Process until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
🌿 Lastly, spread on a plate, top with the onions, honey, and chives.
Substitutions and Variations
- You can use shallots instead of onions.
- You can leave the ricotta out if you prefer and just use brie.
- You can top with pretty much anything you like instead of onions, honey and chives.
- You can use mascarpone instead of ricotta.
Chef Nadia’s Tip
SAVE the rinds. It is a pro move, keep them in your fridge or freezer and add to soups, stews and sauces. Blend or remove once the sauce is done.
