Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (preferably Kerrygold)
- 2 slices sourdough bread, toasted until golden brown
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred for creaminess)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped chives, and coarse salt until fully combined and evenly mixed.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter gently, making sure it does not brown, just enough to coat the skillet’s bottom.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula to create soft, curd-like scrambled eggs. Continue stirring until the eggs are almost cooked but remain slightly runny in parts, about 2 minutes.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the ricotta cheese, mixing just until combined, leaving some clumps for texture and richness.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the creamy scrambled eggs over the toasted sourdough slices. Serve hot to enjoy the warm, soft, and creamy combination at its best.
Notes
- Use whole milk ricotta for the creamiest texture.
- Chives add a fresh, mild onion flavor; substitute with green onions if desired.
- Cook eggs over medium-low heat to avoid browning and maintain softness.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of black pepper or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
- Serve immediately for the best texture since the ricotta softens further with warmth.
