Salami Ricotta Bites

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix the filling: In a small bowl, stir together the whole-milk ricotta and grated Parmesan until smooth and evenly blended.

3. Assemble bites: Lay the salami slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of the ricotta mixture onto the center of each slice, then gently fold the salami in half over the filling to create half-moons.

4. Bake: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges of the salami are toasted, crisp, and slightly curled, and the cheese filling is warm and slightly puffed.

5. Rest and serve: Let rest on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes so the filling sets. Transfer to a platter and serve warm.
