ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat while cream cheese offers a similar texture.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: red wine vinegar

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Red wine vinegar is a lighter alternative, while apple cider vinegar is less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Cut the tomatoes in half and place in a baking tray.

Sprinkle with chopped thyme, salt, pepper and half ½ tablespoon of olive oil.

Roast for 15-20 minutes then remove to set aside and cool.

Put the ricotta, lemon, parmesan and a pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor, blitz until smooth (a couple of seconds).

Add the ricotta dip to a serving plate or shallow bowl and make a small well in the middle.

Add the roasted tomatoes, drizzle with a touch of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper and a few extra thyme leaves.

Serve with crusty bread or crackers.
