Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt
- 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
Cooking
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (Kerrygold recommended)
To Serve
- 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, finely chopped chives, and coarse salt until fully combined, ensuring the mixture is uniform in color and texture.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter just enough to coat the bottom without browning it.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula for about 2 minutes until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny in parts to achieve a soft, curd-like texture.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the ricotta cheese, mixing just until incorporated while allowing some clumps to remain for added creaminess and texture.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled eggs with ricotta over the toasted sourdough slices. Serve hot to enjoy the creamy, comforting flavors.
Notes
- Use whole milk ricotta for a creamier texture; part-skim can be used but will be less rich.
- Be careful with the heat when cooking eggs to avoid browning or drying out the texture.
- Chives add a fresh mild onion flavor, but you can substitute with scallions or parsley if preferred.
- Toast the bread until golden for the best contrast in texture with the creamy eggs.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately to savor the creaminess of the ricotta and softness of the eggs.
