Ingredients

• Eggs - Pasture-raised eggs are my favorite. You just can't beat that bright orange yolk! However, any large eggs will work in this ricotta egg bites recipe.
• Ricotta cheese - This is whisked into the eggs so they're extra fluffy. If dairy-free, feel free to swap in a vegan ricotta cheese.
• Almond milk - Used to provide some creaminess to the ricotta egg bites. Any type of low-fat milk will work.

Step by step directions

These ricotta egg bites are a breeze to make. You'll be so pleased with yourself the next morning when you wake up and have a big batch of tasty egg bites on hand too!

Step 1 : Whisk together the ricotta and almond milk

First, whisk the ricotta and almond milk together in a mixing bowl. This can be done with a stiff whisk or the back of a fork. Mix well until the almond milk is fully incorporated. The mixture should be slightly thick at this point.

Step 2 : Whisk eggs

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs well to break up the yolks. It's important to use a large mixing bowl as this is the bowl that will hold all the ingredients.

Step 3 : Fold in remaining ingredients

Next, fold in the ricotta cheese mixture along with the chopped peppers, onions, sea salt, and garlic powder. Mix well to incorporate.

Step 4 : Fill muffin tin and bake

Grease a muffin tin with oil and fill each cavity with the egg batter leaving just a bit of room. Bake in the oven until the ricotta egg bites are set. You should be able to gently press on each egg muffin and it feel firm. Let cool before removing from the pan.

Customizations

Fun news! These ricotta egg bites can easily be customized to your specific preference. Here are a few additions and swaps I recommend:

• Add some ground turkey to the batter to make these ricotta egg bites extra protein packed!
• Double up on veggies and add some sautéed mushrooms and broccoli.
• Throw in some cooked sweet potato pieces (similar to my breakfast egg muffins) to provide some healthy carbs and makes these more filling.

Storing

The best way to store these egg bites with ricotta cheese in an airtight container in the fridge. When ready to enjoy, simply warm them up in the microwave for 20 - 30 seconds until warm to the touch.
