Description
These soft scrambled eggs with ricotta cheese and chives offer a creamy, flavorful twist on a classic breakfast. Served on toasted sourdough bread, this dish combines rich, fluffy eggs with the subtle tang of ricotta, making for a delicious and comforting start to your day.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
¼ teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup ricotta cheese
2 pieces toasted sourdough bread
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped chives, and coarse salt until fully combined. Ensure the eggs are fully beaten and the chives and salt are evenly distributed.
Step 2: Melt Butter in the Skillet
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter until it coats the bottom of the skillet. Be careful not to let the butter brown.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula. Stir until the eggs are almost cooked but still slightly runny in parts, about 2 minutes. Stirring continually will help create a soft, curd-like texture.
Step 4: Incorporate Ricotta Cheese
Once the eggs are almost set, remove the skillet from the heat.
Stir in the ricotta cheese gently, mixing just until incorporated. Leave some clumps of cheese for added texture and flavor.
Step 5: Serve
Immediately serve the soft scrambled eggs on top of the toasted sourdough bread. The warmth of the eggs will soften the ricotta further, creating a creamy breakfast.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
If you prefer a firmer texture, you can cook the eggs for a bit longer, but be sure not to overcook them.
