- Divide mixture evenly among greased ramekins.
- Top each ramekin with additional shredded mozzarella.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Notes
- Use ramekins that hold 4-8 ounces. Ramekins that have measure lines to help you control portions.
- Ricotta cheese can either be full fat or part-skim depending on your taste. I use part-skim to help reduce calories.
- Make sure you grease the ramekins with oil. I use olive oil spray or olive oil infused with garlic or other herbs to enhance the flavor.
- A food chopper will help you minced the sundried tomatoes super fine.
- You can make baked ricotta ahead of time and either bake when you are ready to serve or reheat in the microwave or oven.
