Ricotta Breakfast Sausage Egg Bites

Oh, you think you know breakfast? Think again. Let me introduce you to the reason I leap out of bed with the enthusiasm of a kid on Christmas morning: Ricotta Breakfast Sausage Egg Bites. Yes, you heard that right. It’s the culinary equivalent of hitting the jackpot, a mouthwatering trio of fluffy ricotta scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage with just the right hint of sweetness, and a kick of red pepper flakes to remind you that life is indeed worth living.

Now, let’s talk sausage, because not all sausages are created equal. You want one that whispers sweet nothings to your tastebuds, not one that’s as bland as cardboard. My secret weapon? A semi-sweet, flavor-packed sausage from @vtsalumi. Trust me, it’s like choosing the right wand in Harry Potter – the sausage chooses the chef, and this one’s chosen me.

Here’s how you conjure this magic. Cook the sausage until it’s as brown and tempting as a treasure chest of gold. Whisk together the eggs and ricotta like you're mixing a potion. Layer the sausage in a muffin tin like you're laying bricks of gold, then drown it in the egg mixture, sprinkle with your choice of enchantments (salt, red pepper flakes, and basil), and bake. What comes out is nothing short of miraculous. It’s like your taste buds are ascending to a higher plane of existence. So, if you need me in the morning, I’ll be in the kitchen, making another batch.

Ricotta Breakfast Sausage Egg Bites

What’s the most addicting breakfast ever? This. This is. I love breakfast sausage so much, so you combine that with fluffy ricotta scrambled eggs and some red pepper flakes….and it’s guaranteed I’ll consume it all. The breakfast sausage makes a difference, so get one that’s semi-sweet with lots of flavor! My go-to has always been from @vtsalumi

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 20 MinTotal time: 25 Min

Ingredients

• Eggs (I only needed 3 for making 6)
• 2 tbsp Ricotta Cheese
• 2-3 Breakfast Sausage Links
• Salt
• Dried Basil

Instructions

1. Cook sausage in a frying pan until browning and fully cooked. Layout on a paper towel to get excess grease off and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, scramble up the eggs and ricotta cheese.
3. Fill a non-stick muffin tin with sausage (about half way), then pour egg mixture over it. Be sure to leave some room at the top for eggs to rise. Sprinkle with salt, red pepper flakes and basil.
4. Bake at 400 for 15-18 min, or until eggs are starting to brown lightly on top.
