Ricotta and Honey Butter Bites - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. store-bought or homemade pizza dough, at room temperature
- 6 oz. firm ricotta cheese, cold
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, plus additional for greasing pan
- 1/3 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 ºF.
- Grease a 9" pie plate or baking dish with butter.
- Tear the dough into 20 to 24 roughly equal size pieces.
- Roll out each piece of dough to approximately 2" in diameter. Place 2 teaspoons of ricotta in the center of each piece of dough, stretch and fold up the edges, and pinch to seal.

- Melt the butter and honey in a small saucepan, whisking to combine.
- Liberally brush the tops of the bites with the melted honey butter.
- Bake the bites for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush one final time with remaining honey butter. Serve warm.
