Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather your equipment: a blender, baking pan, and silicone molds.
In the blender, combine the eggs and ricotta cheese, blending until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Place silicone molds in a baking pan. Pour the egg-ricotta mixture into each mold, filling them 3/4 full.
Pour hot water into the baking pan, filling it halfway up the sides of the molds for even baking.
Transfer the baking pan to the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes until the tops feel firm.
Allow the bites to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before gently removing them.
Store in an airtight container; refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
