Baked Ricotta With Bacon And Caramelized Onions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the cheese, garlic, pepper flakes, herbs, salt, pepper, and egg white.

2. 2

   Grease 2 ramekins with olive oil, and pour the ricotta mixture into the ramekins.

3. 3

   Bake in a 350 degree oven until the top begins to brown lightly, about 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Let cool slightly. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until the fat renders, about 3-5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the onions and saute until the onions are caramelized and the bacon is crisp, about 5-7 minutes more.

6. 6

   Loosen the ricotta from the ramekin using a butter knife or an offset spatula. Top the ricotta with the bacon and onion mixture, and a drizzle of good olive oil, if desired. Serve with bread or crackers.
