Equipment
- gas or charcoal grill, or oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta cheese, full fat
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 9.5 ounce artisan style flatbread, 4 count (I used The Rustik Oven brand.)
- 1-2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat grill to about 350°F (typically medium to medium-low heat).
- Meanwhile, add ricotta cheese, a half tablespoon of olive oil, thyme, lemon juice, and salt to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
- Brush remaining olive oil on both sides of flatbread. Grill flatbread for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. A light char is okay.
- Top flatbread with ricotta cheese mix, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle chopped basil on top. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Don’t skip the lemon juice—it brightens the ricotta and balances the sweetness.
Grill over medium-low heat to avoid burning the flatbread before it crisps.
Use a light hand with the honey—you want just a touch of sweetness to complement, not overpower.
Serve immediately for the crispiest texture and freshest flavor. This flatbread is best eaten fresh while it’s warm and crispy.
Don’t store fully assembled flatbread—the ricotta can make it soggy.
If you need to prep ahead, make the ricotta and grill when ready.
