Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups ricotta cheese Make sure you choose whole milk ricotta for the best texture.
- 1.5 cups almond flour This adds nuttiness and a wonderful texture.
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese For that salty, umami kick.
- 2 pieces eggs Vital for binding everything together.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder To give the pillows that fluffy rise.
- 0.5 teaspoon salt To elevate all the flavors.
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley Optional, for a touch of freshness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, baking powder, and salt. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until just combined.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- With slightly wet hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a pillow shape. Place each pillow on the baking sheet.
