- Beat ricotta, cream cheese, and egg yolks on low speed until smooth.
- Gradually beat in rest of ingredients, except chives. Stir in chives, reserving 1/4 cup for sprinkling when serving.
- Scoop spoonfuls of batter and push into tins with finger. Fill tins slightly above rims as the batter will puff and then settle. Sprinkle batter with additional chives.

To reheat, place on baking sheet in 250°F or 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through (the reheating temperature ranges to allow the cheesecakes to share an oven with other foods baking a the same time.

Very delicious. These were a huge hit with my brother and husband. I didn't have a mini muffin tin, so I used a standard muffin tin and filled them up half way and I don't think it made too much of a difference. Made for the Went to the Market - Winter 2012 -2013 tag game. Thanks Deantini for a great little nibble.
