Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
To Serve
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 pieces toasted sourdough bread
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely chopped chives, and coarse salt until fully combined and the mixture is uniform.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter carefully, ensuring it does not brown and just coats the skillet.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula to prevent sticking. Continue stirring until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny in spots, about 2 minutes, creating soft curd-like textures.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat just before the eggs are fully set and gently fold in the ricotta cheese, leaving some clumps visible for texture and creaminess.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled eggs mixture onto the toasted sourdough slices. The warmth will help soften the ricotta further, resulting in a creamy, delicious breakfast ready to enjoy hot.
Notes
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor.
- Cook eggs on medium-low heat to achieve soft, creamy curds.
- Ensure butter is melted but not browned to avoid bitterness.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture of ricotta with eggs.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
