Italian-Style Ricotta Board Recipe
Butter boards were one of 2022's biggest culinary creations to go viral from TikTok to Pintrest. Naturally new bases and variations on the easy entertaining app popped up including takes using hummus, labneh, and more. And! With the Super Bowl this Sunday, we whipped up our own version inspired by Fontana Forni's Italian heritage. It's a simple and quick finger-food that can elevate your tailgate. Mangia!
Supplies:
- Fontana Forni USA oven

- 1 container of ricotta or whipped cream cheese
- 1 container of sun-dried tomatoes (in olive oil)
- Pesto

Directions:
1.) Preheat oven to about 400°F.
2.) While preheating, slice baguette into thin slices.
3.) Place on a flat sheet pan and drizzle slices with olive oil. Place in the oven until browned to your liking.
