Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and softened
  • 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus extra
  • salt, for sprinkling
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Combine the butter and cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Add the flour, ricotta, salt, pepper, parsley and egg, and stir until well combined. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet, spacing the rounds about an inch apart. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill until the rounds are frozen solid, at least 30 minutes.
  2. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 450 degrees. Transfer the baking sheet with the puffs directly to the oven and bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the puffs to a serving platter and sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve immediately.
