Yield: 4 servings
3 Tbsp butter or margarine
4 oz feta cheese 1/2" cubes
1/8 tsp pepper
juice of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp parsley, minced (optional)
1 cup ricotta cheese
Melt the butter in a heavy 8-inch skillet or a 1
quart saucepan
over low-heat. Add the feta and ricotta cheese, and
pepper. Cook,
stirring constantly, and mashing the cheeses
slightly, until they
soften and begin to bubble - about 5 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, and garnish with the parsley
if desired. Serve
at once; as the fondue cools, it loses flavor.
VARIATIONS: Substitute Fontina cheese for the Feta Cheese or you
can substitute cottage cheese for the ricotta. You
can make both
of
these substitutions.
