Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Additional 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 the mixture is completely blended and the chives and salt are evenly distributed.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter, making sure it does not brown and just coats the bottom of the pan lightly.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula. Continue stirring until the eggs become soft, curd-like, and are almost fully cooked but still slightly runny in parts. This should take about 2 minutes.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the ricotta cheese just until combined, leaving some cheese clumps for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled egg and ricotta mixture over the toasted sourdough slices. The warmth will soften the ricotta further, creating a creamy and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor; you can substitute with green onions if unavailable.
- Do not overcook the eggs to keep them soft and creamy.
- Use high-quality ricotta cheese for a richer texture.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
- Optional: Add freshly ground black pepper or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra flavor.
