Baked Egg with Herbed Ricotta
Caputo Brothers Creamery makes the best ricotta. Mix in some fresh herbs and top it with an egg and you’ve got a savory breakfast. This baked egg with herbed ricotta does take some time to bake, but it’s definitely worth it.
The ricotta from Caputo Brothers Creamery is fresh and whey-based. I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s nothing like the ricotta you buy at the store. It’s soft and creamy and perfect for everything sweet or savory.
I know I had a set of ramekins and I had been wanting to make this recipe for sometime. I just couldn’t figure out where my ramekins had gotten to. A lot of my pots and pans and other kitchen supplies are wrapped in newspaper and sitting in boxes in my basement since we have a ton of pots and pans and other kitchen supplies already in the kitchen. We just didn’t have a ramekin. I searched through my boxes and couldn’t find it.
My ricotta wasn’t getting any fresher, so I took to the basement once more and was able to locate a single ramekin! That’s all you need for this recipe, unless of course you want to serve more than one person. In which case, I do not recommend misplacing your bakeware.
