Description
These Ricotta Egg Bites are fluffy, protein-packed, and customizable, ideal for a quick breakfast or elegant brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large Eggs (Use fresh eggs for better flavor.)
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese (Whole milk or part-skim works best, strain if watery.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Adjust to your preference.)
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper (Substitute with other seasonings or herbs for variety.)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (Chives or parsley can elevate flavor profiles.)
- 1/2 cup Cheese (Feta or cheddar for different taste dimensions.)
- 1/2 cup Crispy Bacon (Bacon bits can add a savory kick.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. This step is crucial for even baking.
- Blend the eggs, ricotta cheese, salt, and pepper together until completely smooth.
- Prepare silicone molds in a baking pan. Fill each mold about 3/4 full with the egg mixture.
- Create a hot water bath by pouring water into the baking pan, halfway up the sides of the molds.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes until firm and set. A gentle shake confirms a solid texture.
- Cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing bites from the molds.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
