Ingredients

• 4 Tbs unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and softened
• 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 tsp salt, plus extra for sprinkling
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2Tbs chopped fresh parsley
• 1 large egg

Directions

1. *Combine the butter and cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Add the flour, ricotta cheese, salt, pepper, parsley, and egg, and stir until well combined. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet, spacing the rounds about an inch apart. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill until the rounds are frozen solid, at least 30 minutes.

2. **Adjust an ovenrack to the middle position and heat the oven to 450 degrees. Transfer the baking sheet with the puffs directly to the oven and bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the puffs to a serving platter and sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve immediately.
