Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Serving
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 pieces toasted sourdough bread
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, finely chopped chives, and coarse salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the chives and salt are evenly distributed.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter. Make sure the butter does not brown but is just sufficient to lightly coat the skillet’s surface.
- 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 nearly cooked but still slightly runny in parts, usually about 2 minutes, to achieve a soft, curd-like texture.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat once the eggs are almost set. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese just until incorporated, leaving some small clumps for texture and flavor contrast.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled egg and ricotta mixture over the toasted sourdough bread slices and serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor; dried chives can be substituted but will be less vibrant.
- Do not overcook the eggs to maintain a soft, creamy texture.
- Ensure the butter does not brown to avoid altering the flavor.
- Serve immediately for optimal texture and warmth.
- To add variety, consider topping with freshly ground black pepper or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
