This Baked Ricotta Cheese Dip with Garlic Thyme and Lemon is THE BEST party dip ever! So cheesy, warm, and savory!

Ok I admit it, I’m addicted to… CHEESE!

I tried giving up cheese once. Once is the key word. 😀

So now that the Holiday season is in full swing, I’m all about the food, the wine, the people, the parties… I love this time of year!!

This Baked Ricotta Cheese Dip with Garlic Thyme and Lemon is perfect for entertaining your Holiday guests.

This recipe actually came to be while I was on a little shopping trip to Target. I was looking for cute fall/winter food props and came across this adorable mini cast iron dutch oven!

Now you can use any small baking dish you choose, I just thought this one was uber cute. 🙂

Oh and I ended up using my go-to gluten free baguettes from Udi’s to make the crostini to top this with! But if you’re not gluten free then feel free to use your favorite rustic baguette.

I hope you guys love this Baked Ricotta Cheese Dip with Garlic Thyme and Lemon as much as I did! It’s:

• Cheesy
• Savory
• Warm
• Comforting
• and Insanely Delicious!
