Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like chives or parsley)
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • as needed olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta, eggs, shredded cheese, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Let cool slightly, then remove from the muffin tin and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

These bites are great make-ahead snacks! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave when ready to eat.
