A slight variation on this recipe I've made and found much easier than cutting and chopping is just get a jar of chunky salsa and add a tablespoon or two to the eggs and mix. It's very good and less messy and time consuming. Salsa also comes in mild, medium and hot/spicey so that will add variety to your flavor!!

Teeheehee ... I feel so sneaky. ;-) I made this for breakfast today and DH never noticed that ricotta. I added my standard shot of baking powder to get the _puff_ going but otherwise followed right along with the recipe. Great eggs and a terrific way to use up those smidgeons of ricotta that lurk in the fridge.
