About Bread with ricotta

Bread with ricotta is a simple yet flavorful dish that highlights the natural creaminess of fresh ricotta cheese spread over a slice of bread. Commonly associated with Italian cuisine, this combination can be enjoyed as a quick snack, appetizer, or part of a breakfast plate. The bread is often a rustic sourdough or whole-grain variety, while the ricotta, made from whey, offers a light and mildly tangy taste. Ricotta is a good source of protein and calcium, making it a nutritious option, particularly when paired with fiber-rich whole-grain bread. It can be topped with heart-healthy olive oil, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and nutrients. However, depending on portion size and additional toppings, bread with ricotta can become calorie-dense, so moderation is key. This dish offers a versatile base for both sweet and savory variations to suit any palate.
