Instructions

Combine the ricotta, olive oil, lemon zest, and pepper in a food processor (a mini food processor works great). Blend until smooth and creamy, about 45 seconds.

Spread the whipped ricotta in a shallow bowl or on a serving platter. Drizzle lightly with honey, sprinkle with fresh thyme, and serve with toasted baguette slices.
