Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

To Serve

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 pieces toasted sourdough bread

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped chives, and coarse salt until fully combined, ensuring the mixture is uniform with no streaks of egg whites remaining.
  2. Melt Butter in the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter, making sure it coats the bottom of the skillet without browning or smoking.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula. Continue stirring to create soft, curd-like textures until the eggs are almost set but retain slight runniness in spots, about 2 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the ricotta cheese just until combined, allowing some clumps to remain to add creaminess and texture.
  5. Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled eggs with ricotta over the toasted sourdough slices. Serve warm to enjoy the full creamy and rich flavor combination.

Notes

  • Use fresh chives for the best flavor, or substitute with green onions if unavailable.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, you can substitute ricotta with a plant-based cream cheese alternative.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture; the eggs will continue to cook slightly if left in the hot skillet.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle freshly ground black pepper or a pinch of red chili flakes on top before serving.
