Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • directions for making infused honey: about a week or two before use, add a few whole leaves of bay, some sprigs of oregano, or a handful of dried rose petals (or other herbs of your choice) to honey, cover, and let sit in a cool place. remove herbs before first use.

Directions:

  1. Beat the cheese in a large bowl.
  2. When soft, add egg and beat thoroughly.
  3. Combine cheese and flour mixture; if very stiff, add a little olive oil.
  4. Pat mixture into cakes and place in dish lined with herbs.
  5. Bake in a covered dish (the terra cotta dishes sold for baking garlic are easy to acquire and are similar to the authentic Roman baking method) at 425° F.
  6. (Sorry, the directions I received did not come with a time. You'll have to experiment. I've ESTIMATED the time above; don't rely on it.)
  7. Spread warm cakes with honey and garnish with herbs or pine nuts.
