Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and eggs. Using a whisk or spatula, mix until you achieve a smooth and uniform consistency.

This step is crucial for ensuring that the casserole has a creamy texture.

Step 2

Add Additional Ingredients

Once your ricotta mixture is ready, add a pinch of salt, the powdered sugar, and the rice flour. Mix everything thoroughly until no dry flour remains and the mixture is well combined.

This will create the base of your casserole, providing sweetness and structure.

Step 3

Prepare the Baking Dish

Line your baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Then, pour the ricotta mixture into the prepared dish and spread it out evenly.

Make sure the mixture is level to ensure even baking.

Step 4

Bake the Casserole

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden.

Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to avoid over-browning.

Step 5

Cool and Serve

After baking, let the casserole cool in the dish at room temperature.

This step is important as it allows the flavors to settle, making it easier to slice and serve.

Enjoy your delicious ricotta casserole!
