Ingredients
  

Egg Mixture
  • 6 large Eggs Use large eggs for the perfect structure and protein boost.
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese Adds a creamy texture; opt for whole milk or part-skim ricotta.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall flavor; adjust according to your palate.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly cracked pepper adds a delightful kick.
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs Customize with chives, basil, or parsley for flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Vegetables Incorporate spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini for added nutrition.
  • 1/4 cup Cheese Variations Experiment with feta or goat cheese for different flavor profiles.

Equipment

  • Blender
  • silicone mold
  • Muffin tin
  • Baking pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare your baking environment with a silicone mold or muffin tin.
  2. In a blender, combine the large eggs, ricotta cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Lightly grease your molds or muffin tin. Pour the egg mixture into each cavity until they are about 3/4 full.
  4. Place the filled molds in a larger baking pan. Pour hot water into the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the molds.
  5. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until set and no longer jiggly in the center. A slight golden hue indicates they are ready.
  6. Cool slightly for about 5 minutes, gently pull on the edges to release the bites, and turn them out onto a plate.
  7. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
