If your planning a toga party or just want a taste of ancient Rome, this is an authentic version of an ancient Roman cheese cake. Its pretty different from a New York style though. This cheesecake can be served either warm or cold.
Ingredients
- 15 bays leaves
- 3 eggs
- 8 ounces ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cups honey

- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pour some water into a small, oven proof bowl, and place into the oven. Arrange the bay leaves over the bottom of the springform pan to cover.

Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, then mix in ricotta cheese, honey, orange zest, and lemon juice. Sprinkle in the flour, and stir until evenly combined. Gently pour the batter over the bay leaves, being careful not to disturb them too much.

Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 35 to 40 minutes. Run the tip of a paring knife around the edges of the pan, and release from the springform pan. Invert onto a serving plate, and serve warm or chilled.

Watermelon Gin and Tonic
Pretty much an amazing summer drink. All the perfection of a great gin and tonic, but with a little twist. Plus, it looks pretty! I like this drink sitting in the backyard while grilling anything! I think it also makes a good winter drink when you need a quick 'get-away,' as long as you can find the watermelon!
Maple Blondies
These maple blondies are a quick dessert that will satisfy any maple-lover's craving. You can underbake them slightly for a denser, chewier bar; or bake them until fully set for a cake-style bar.
Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole
This ham and cheese breakfast casserole is very filling. It should be assembled and then refrigerated overnight. I usually make this Christmas Eve and serve it Christmas morning after we open our presents.
