Sick of eggs? Try Ricotta Muffins

[wifey bullseye]

OK - first he sauteed a half an onion, 3 small cloves of garlic, and a "handful" of finely chopped mushrooms, with salt, pepper, and basil in a small amount of olive oil. then he chilled it by sticking it in the freezer for 10 minutes. (so that the heat from the veggies didn't pre-cook the eggs)

Then he mixed 2 cups of ricotta (we prefer the POLY-O, because its creamier than other brands we've tried) with 4 eggs, salt and pepper to taste, and more basil. He also blended in about 1/2 Shredded Italian Blend cheese and about a 1/4 (maybe a little less) of freshly grated Parmesian. Then he added the veggies.

We sprayed foil cups (soon to be silicone cups), and filled them with the gooey yumminess that would soon be breakfast. This filled all 12 cups in our muffin pan.

Don't forget to preheat your oven to 400 degrees - and then bake for 30-35 minutes.

(By the way - he is totally stoked that someone asked for his recipe! Way to boost his ego, girls!)

Hey trial and error!! I put in a TRUCKLOAD of vanilla I definitely needed more sweetener than i put in
Do you like coffee? I was thinking of trying some instant coffee in the mix
Also try topping it with some PB
and don't eat them cold!!

These sound soooo good! My boyfriend and I are going to have a go at this together but we both love food and can tired if we have the same thing every day. It's great to know these can be made sweet/savory! Great ideas guys and thanks!

Ohhh, thank you for these! I just started P1 but I really am not a big egg eater - I eat more than 1/2 a scrambled egg and I feel icky for some reason. Can't wait to try the muffins!!

Girls: I love these Muffins...thanks for sharing the ideas...I made them sweet like some of you said but today I thought I would try the other way...I saute Onion, Red Bell Pepper, and Mushrooms...then cooled that in a cool bath (in a hurry) and added these Veggies to the recipe of the R. Cheese and 4 eggs...They are wonderful...I did cook them the whole 30 minutes because of the Veggies...Enjoy...and thanks again for sharing.

My favorite Nonegg breakfast is 1/2 cup of black beans 1/2 cup salsa and 1/4 cup shredded Lf cheese

Are these supposed to come out bread-like? Mine were like cheesecakes.

I made them today and wish they were like a cheesecake but mine were more egg soufle like.

Came by this on a search engine (TGFGoogle!) and... I gotta say, these are a fabulous way to break up the SBD Phase 1 breakfast monotony. I did them savory, like wifey, and they're abs. delicious. What a creative husband you have!) My savory muffins were made as follows: (I adjusted the recipe for six eggs inst. of 4) I added 2 wedges low fat french onion laughing cow cheese, a bit of garlic salt, a good bit of pepper (for DH) and the rest of a bag of reduced fat shredded mexican blend cheese (so it wouldn't go bad.)

Delightful! And! They're quick enough to make when you've got a craving.

Thank you so much!

These muffins look interesting. I have some banana extract, I wonder if it would taste close to banana muffins if I added some in.

Also, just curious, should I just grease the muffin tin, or should I use the paper liners.... any thoughts?
