Workin the Leftovers...

Well, it took all of ONE day before I broke back into my new "cheese stash!" I couldn't let it go to waste, AFTER ALL....
So I ended up making these ridiculously delicious Homemade Ricotta "Flatbreads"....holy moly...
Since the homemade ricotta had this awesome "burnt" taste to it, I had a grande plan to grill the flatbreads (aka. rolled out pizza dough;) to give the dough itself a burnt taste as well. But all those plans went out the window after the skies decided to douse us with flood inducing rains. Soooooo....we went with a good back up: Our pizza stone! I preheated the oven (and stone) to 400 and cooked the dough for 20 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes. They came pretty perfect...

Meanwhile, I chopped up some cherry tomatoes and cooked them in a saute pan with some olive oil, basil and about 6 cloves of garlic. We always smell AWESOME!!!!....

And once the dough was crispy, I topped them with a few scoops of the ricotta, the tomato & garlic and a drizzle of olive oil....I could have eaten 10 more of these:Totally simple, but AMAZING flavor! I wish I had VATS of this ricotta just laying around...it was THAT good!

I hear sunshine and warm weather is coming tomorrow (thank God!) Have a great night!
