Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt
- 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
Cooked Base
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 slices sourdough bread, toasted until golden brown
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped chives, and coarse salt until fully combined and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter carefully, ensuring it does not brown and 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. Continue stirring until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny in places, approximately 2 minutes. Continuous stirring helps create a soft, curd-like texture.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat once the eggs are nearly set. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese, mixing just enough to incorporate it while allowing visible clumps for texture.
- Serve: Immediately serve the creamy soft scrambled eggs over the toasted sourdough slices. The residual heat will soften the ricotta further, creating a creamy and delightful breakfast dish.
Notes
- Use whole milk ricotta for a creamier texture.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs to maintain their soft and creamy consistency.
- Chopping the chives finely ensures even flavor throughout.
- Butter should be melted but not browned to avoid bitterness.
- Sourdough bread can be substituted with any rustic artisanal bread if desired.
