Ingredients
  

  • 32 oz. whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup apple butter
  • 1/4 cup pepitas
  • 1/2 cup fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the ricotta cheese and salt into a food processor. Whip until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Smooth the cheese with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle black pepper, if desired.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, until edges are slightly browned.
  • While the cheese is baking, make the fried sage: melt butter in a small nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the sage leaves, frying until they become aromatic and curl up. Remove onto a paper towel.
  • Remove from oven. Swirl in the apple butter. Top with fried sage, pomegranate seeds and pepitas.
  • Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
