Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt
Cooking
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (preferably Kerrygold)
Serving
- 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 well combined and smooth, ensuring the chives and salt are evenly distributed.
- Melt Butter in the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter carefully, avoiding browning. The pan should be lightly coated once the butter is melted.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir constantly with a heat-proof spatula over medium-low heat, cooking gently until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny in parts, approximately 2 minutes, resulting in soft curd-like textures.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese, mixing just until incorporated, leaving some clumps visible to add creamy texture and flavor.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled eggs over the toasted sourdough slices. The warmth will soften the ricotta further, creating a rich and delightful dish to enjoy while hot.
Notes
- Use whole milk ricotta for the creamiest texture.
- Do not overcook the eggs to keep them soft and tender.
- Chives add a fresh onion-like flavor; substitute with green onions if needed.
- To toast the sourdough, use a toaster or a skillet until golden brown.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
