Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Cooking Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 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 the unsalted butter. Be careful not to let the butter brown; it should be just melted enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula. Continue stirring until the eggs are almost cooked but still slightly runny in parts, which should take about 2 minutes. This technique helps create soft, curd-like textures.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Once the eggs are almost set, remove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir in the 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 eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Keep the heat low to prevent overcooking the eggs.
- Do not overmix ricotta into the eggs; leaving some lumps adds a creamy texture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the eggs at their softest and creamiest.
- Chives can be substituted with green onions or fresh herbs like parsley for variation.
