Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
Assembly
- 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 well combined. Make sure 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 the unsalted butter, taking care not to brown it. The butter should lightly coat the bottom of the skillet to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently over medium-low heat while stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula. Continue stirring until the eggs are almost cooked but still slightly runny in places, about 2 minutes. This technique helps create soft curds for a silky texture.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat once the eggs are nearly set. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese, mixing just until incorporated while leaving some clumps visible to add texture and flavor.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the creamy soft scrambled eggs over the toasted sourdough slices. The warmth will further soften the ricotta, providing a luscious and delicious breakfast. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh eggs and good-quality ricotta for the best flavor and texture.
- Keep the heat low and stir continuously to avoid overcooking and achieve soft curds.
- Chives add freshness but can be substituted with green onions or fresh herbs like parsley.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or a sprinkle of grated parmesan if desired.
- This recipe works well with other rustic breads if sourdough is unavailable.
