Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Finishing Touches
- 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 the mixture is fully combined and smooth, ensuring the chives are evenly distributed.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Melt the butter gently without browning it, just enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula to create soft curds. Continue stirring until the eggs are mostly cooked but slightly runny in parts, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the ricotta cheese, mixing just until combined. Allow some ricotta clumps to remain for added creamy texture and flavor.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled eggs with ricotta over toasted sourdough slices. The warmth will soften the ricotta further, creating a luscious and satisfying breakfast. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor; you can substitute with green onions if needed.
- Cook the eggs gently over low heat to achieve a creamy, soft texture instead of dry scrambled eggs.
- To toast the sourdough bread, use your preferred method—oven, toaster, or skillet.
- For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk ricotta.
- This recipe pairs well with a fresh salad or sliced tomatoes for a complete brunch.
