Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Serving
- 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 the mixture is fully combined with the chives and salt evenly distributed.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter carefully, ensuring it does not brown but just coats 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 until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny in places, about 2 minutes, to achieve soft, curd-like textures.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the ricotta cheese just until incorporated, leaving some clumps for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the creamy soft scrambled eggs over the toasted sourdough bread and enjoy while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor and aroma.
- Make sure to stir eggs continuously for soft curds rather than dry scrambled eggs.
- Do not overcook eggs as they will continue to cook off heat and ricotta adds moisture.
- To toast the sourdough bread, use a toaster or skillet according to preference.
- You can customize the recipe by adding black pepper or other fresh herbs if desired.
