    Ricotta Cheese

    Ricotta cheese is a fresh cheese that originated in Italy. It is a soft and creamy cheese and is very similar in texture to cottage cheese. It means recooked and refers to the way the cheese is made. Traditionally, ricotta is made by heating the whey proteins left over from the making of other cheeses like mozzarella.

    Ricotta cheese is also one of the easiest cheeses to make at home. It doesn’t require any special ingredients or tools and can be a great way to use any leftover milk. It’s also a fun project to get the kids involved in. A great way to show them how food is made.

    Ricotta is a very versatile cheese. It can be used in either sweet or savoury dishes. Perfect to add to cheesecakes, low carb pancakes, scrambled eggs, omelettes or even simply mix with some berries for a delicious low carb dessert. It would be delicious mixed with some of this tasty blueberry sauce.

    Tips

    • Using a silicone muffin tray makes it so easy to remove the muffins from the tray. If you are using a standard muffin tray you may want to grease the tin with some butter for ease of removal.
    • When you pour the egg mixture on top of the salami, it may run into the bottom of the tray. This is fine and won’t affect the outcome at all.
    • These muffins can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer. These are great to store in the freezer and grab out the night before for a quick and easy breakfast.

    Suggestions

    • If you aren’t a fan of salami you can use any of your favourite deli meat like ham, sliced chicken or sliced turkey.
    • The cherry tomato makes these keto egg muffins look pretty, but you can leave it out if you are not a fan of tomato.
