Preparation

Step 1

Heat broiler. In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, parsley, thyme, red pepper, ½ cup of the Parmesan, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
Transfer to a shallow, broilerproof 1-quart baking dish, drizzle with the oil, and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of Parmesan. Broil until the top begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm with the endive.
