Not only is this warm and melty baked ricotta a delicious way to start any meal, but it also gives you a reason to pick up a jar of crunchy chili oil. We love this infused oil because although there is a slight hint of heat, the majority of flavor comes from crispy bits of fried aromatics like garlic, scallions, and pepper. We recommend serving this dip with a variety of sliced vegetables and pieces of crusty bread to help scoop up every last bite.

I made this yesterday for a dinner party and it is absolutely yummy! A huge success. I made Parker House Rolls with it but am sure it will go well with the crusty baguette. The cucumbers and radishes were also great with it. A 10 out of 10!
