Main ingredients
  • 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 9 large eggs
  • 1 dash black pepper
  • 1 dash salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Blend together eggs, ricotta cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Place silicone molds inside a baking pan and fill them with the egg mixture, leaving a gap at the top.
  4. Create a hot water bath by pouring hot water into the baking pan until it reaches halfway up the molds.
Baking
  1. Bake on the bottom rack for 25-35 minutes until set.
  2. Allow to cool, then remove from molds and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Serve hot with a smear of harissa or basil pesto, or cold as a protein-rich snack. Store in an airtight container; they can be frozen for up to 1 month.
