This Egg and Ricotta Toast recipe offers a creamy, flavorful twist on traditional scrambled eggs by incorporating fresh ricotta cheese and chives, served atop toasted sourdough bread. The result is a soft, luscious breakfast dish that’s quick to prepare and full of comforting textures and mild savory notes.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 pieces toasted sourdough bread

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped chives, and coarse salt until fully combined, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
  2. Melt Butter in the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter without allowing it to brown, just enough to coat the bottom lightly and prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula. Maintain stirring to develop soft curds; cook until eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny in spots, approximately 2 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the ricotta cheese, mixing just enough to combine while leaving some clumps in the eggs to add creamy texture and flavor contrast.
  5. Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled eggs with ricotta over the toasted sourdough slices. The residual warmth will soften the cheese further, making for a deliciously creamy and comforting breakfast dish. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs and good-quality ricotta for the best texture and flavor.
  • Cook eggs gently over low heat to avoid overcooking and to maintain creaminess.
  • Toasted sourdough bread adds a nice tang and crunch complementing the soft eggs.
  • Feel free to add extra herbs like parsley or dill for variation.
  • This dish is best served immediately to enjoy optimal texture and warmth.
