Ingredients

8 eggs

1/2 cup ricotta cheese (part skim)

1/4 cup almond milk (plain and unsweetened)

1/4 cup green bell pepper (diced)

1/4 cup red bell pepper (diced)

1/4 cup onion (diced)

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Pepper to top (optional)

Directions

Cream

Preheat oven 350F. In a small bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese and almond milk until creamy. The mixture should be slightly thick; set aside.

Whisk

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs well to break up the yolks.

Fold

Add the ricotta mixture to the bowl with the eggs along with the diced pepper, onions, sea salt, and garlic powder. Fold to incorporate all of the mix-ins.

Bake

Grease a muffin tin with oil and fill each cavity almost all the way full with the egg batter. Bake in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes until the egg bites are fluffy. You should be able to gently press the egg bites and they feel semi firm.

Enjoy!

Let the ricotta egg bites cool slightly before running a knife around the muffin to pull it out of the tin. Top with some fresh cracked pepper and enjoy!
