Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the large eggs, ricotta cheese, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Blend until smooth.
  3. Take your silicone molds and place them in a baking pan.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared silicone molds, filling each one about three-quarters full.
  5. Create a water bath by pouring hot water into the baking pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the silicone molds.
