Salami Ricotta Bites
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Thin slices deli salami | 24 |
| Whole-milk ricotta cheese | 1 cup |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | ¼ cup |
Step-by-Step Directions
- Preheat and prep – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the filling – In a small bowl, stir together the whole-milk ricotta and grated Parmesan until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Assemble the bites – Lay the salami slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1 to 1½ teaspoons of the ricotta mixture onto the center of each slice, then gently fold the salami in half over the filling to form half-moons.
- Bake – Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges of the salami are toasted, crisp, and slightly curled, and the cheese filling is warm and just beginning to puff.
- Rest and serve – Let the bites rest on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes so the filling can set. Transfer to a platter and serve warm.
