Ricotta Crumpets

Ricotta cheese is a staple in my kitchen, so making moist delicious ricotta crumpets to serve for dinner with a fresh vegetable salad is an easy decision. Jams and fruit sauces might be a more traditional topping for crumpets, but looking for a sweet and spicy twist, I topped mine with some jalapeño and apricot cheese spread. The possibilities for toppings are as endless as the imagination of the cook and they would be enjoyable for breakfast or brunch as well as dinner.
