Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, choc. chips, and 1/2 t. vanilla extract, and sweetener, and mix well.

Split hot dog bun open lengthwise, without fully separating the 2 halves. Spoon ricotta mix onto the bottom 1/2 of the bun. Gently press the top 1/2 down over the filling. Carefully slice into 4 nuggets.

Mix egg sub, cinnamon, and remaining 1/2 t. vanilla extract in a small bowl. Set aside.

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium high heat. Add butter and allow to coat the bottom of the skillet. Meanwhile, coat each nugget on all sideswith the egg mixture

Once butter has melted, place nuggets in the skillet and flipping occasionally, cook until golden brown on all sies, 3 to 4 minutes.

Plate your nuggets and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Top with syrup, if using.
