List of Ingredients



• Nonstick Spray
  
• 4 tablespoons butter
  
• 1/3 cup bread crumbs
  
• 8 large eggs
  
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 cup minced scallions
  
• Black pepper
  
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350. Generously spray bottoms and sides of 8 nonstick muffin cups with spray then place about 1 1/2 teaspoon butter into each cup. Place the pans in the preheating oven for a minute or so to melt the butter, then take them out and divide the breadcrumbs among them.
   
2. Combine eggs, ricotta, and salt in a blender and whip until smooth. Stir in the scallions and a generous amount of pepper.
   
3. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared cups, filling them right up to the rim. Bake in the center of the oven for 10 min. then reach in and sprinkle each muffin with a little Parmesan. Bake for another 10 minutes until the tops are puffy, golden, and just barely firm to the touch
   
4. Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, during which time they will deflate a little. Run an knife around the edges and lift or invert each muffin on to a cooling rack or plate. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
