Tips to Make Easy Ricotta Egg Bites

Swap out the herbs: If chives aren’t your jam, try spinach or basil for a different flavor twist.
Experiment with cheeses: Feel free to mix in feta or goat cheese for a gourmet touch!
Don’t overmix: Just gently combine the ingredients for the fluffiest bites. The goal is light and airy, not a dense lump!
