Ricotta Egg Bites
Ricotta Cheese Egg Bites are going to be your new breakfast favorite! I’ve always made them with cottage cheese but I’ll say Ricotta is the way to go!!! The Ricotta made the egg bites so much fluffier! Loaded with Canadian bacon, broccoli and cheese – you’ll make these on repeat!
❤️ WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE EGG BITES
Starbucks has put egg bites on the map – but they’re small and OVER PRICED! These Ricotta cheese egg bites are $7 for 12 – Starbucks is $6 for TWO! Plus these are BIGGER and have MORE FILLING!
Egg Bite Combinations
These high-protein ricotta Egg Bites have Canadian Bacon (extra protein!), Broccoli and a little Jack cheese but you can really put ANYTHING in them! Here are some of possibilities:
- Meat – breakfast sausage, cooked bacon, Canadian bacon, pepperoni
- Veggies – some veggies might be better if you lightly saute them before adding to the egg bites but it’s not required
- Raw – broccoli, tomatoes, spinach
- Lightly Saute – onions, peppers, mushrooms, kale
- Cheese – everything is great! Cheddar, mozzarella, goat, feta, colby jack, Swiss are some of my favorites.
- Spices – coarse Kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder and add red pepper flakes or hot sauce if you like a little spice
How to make Ricotta Cheese Egg Bites
My “kid” loves these for meal prep since she leaves for work early every day – so I try to make a batch of them every couple of weeks and they are so easy to make! If you don’t have a blender – you can mix by hand or even with a hand mixer. Here’s how to make them:
- BLEND 2 eggs, ricotta cheese, salt & pepper. Pour ricotta mixture in a mixing bowl.
- WHISK in remaining eggs
- DICE broccoli and Canadian bacon. Divide broccoli, bacon and cheese between 12 cups in a nonstick muffin tin (sprayed with nonstick spray)
- POUR egg mixture into each muffin tin until 3/4 full
- BAKE for 20 minutes at 375º – set muffin tin in a rimmed baking dish with water. You can tell they’re done when you there isn’t any wiggle and they’re semi-firm.
