A quick and easy savory board featuring whipped hot honey butter, creamy whipped ricotta, and toasted baguette slices, perfect for snacks or appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (preferably European-style)
  • 3 tablespoons hot honey (store-bought or homemade by infusing honey with chili flakes)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 cup (240g) fresh ricotta cheese (whole milk, small-curd preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk (coconut cream as dairy-free substitute)
  • 1 medium-sized fresh baguette loaf
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as thyme or basil) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Hot Honey Butter: In a medium bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, hot honey, and chili flakes. Whip with a spatula or hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Whip the Ricotta: In another bowl, add fresh ricotta cheese and heavy cream or whole milk. Whip with an electric mixer or whisk until creamy and smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Add more cream if needed. Season lightly with flaky sea salt.
  3. Slice and Toast the Baguette: Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) slices. Toast on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp, or toast in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Assemble the Board: On a large serving board or platter, spread dollops of whipped ricotta. Add spoonfuls of hot honey butter nearby. Arrange toasted baguette slices around. Garnish with fresh herbs and sprinkle flaky sea salt over everything.
  5. Serve immediately while the baguette is warm and crisp.

Notes

Let butter sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before whipping to avoid clumps. Toast baguette thoroughly for best texture. Prepare butter and ricotta up to a day ahead and keep chilled. Toast baguette slices just before serving for maximum crunch.
