Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
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, chopped chives, and coarse salt until everything is well combined. Ensure the eggs are fully beaten, and the chives and salt are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt a small amount of unsalted butter. Be careful not to let the butter brown; it should be just melted enough to coat the bottom of the skillet lightly.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula. Keep stirring until the eggs are almost cooked but still slightly runny in parts. This should take about 2 minutes. Stirring continually will help create soft, curd-like textures.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Once the eggs are almost set, remove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir in ricotta cheese, mixing just until incorporated. Allow some clumps of cheese to remain visible for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Immediately serve the soft scrambled eggs on top of toasted sourdough slices. The warmth of the eggs will soften the ricotta further, creating a creamy and delightful breakfast option. Enjoy while hot!
Notes
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs to keep them soft and creamy.
- Unsalted butter helps control the saltiness of the dish as salt is added separately.
- Toasting the sourdough bread until crisp adds a pleasant texture contrast.
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk ricotta cheese.
