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
To Serve
- 2 pieces toasted sourdough bread
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely chopped chives, and coarse salt until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter carefully, making sure it does not brown. The butter should just lightly coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula. Continue stirring to create soft, curd-like textures until the eggs are almost cooked but still slightly runny, about 2 minutes.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat once the eggs are nearly set. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese, mixing just enough to incorporate it while allowing some visible clumps for texture.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled eggs topped with ricotta onto the toasted sourdough slices. Serve hot to enjoy the warm, creamy combination.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust salt to taste, especially if your ricotta is already salted.
- For added flavor, garnish with extra chopped chives or cracked black pepper.
- Serve immediately as the eggs continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
