Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt
Cooking & Serving
- 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, finely chopped chives, and coarse salt until fully combined and 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 gently. Avoid browning the butter; it should just coat the bottom of the skillet lightly.
- 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 almost cooked but still slightly runny in parts, about 2 minutes. This technique creates soft, curd-like scrambled eggs.
- Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully set. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese, mixing lightly to keep some clumps intact for texture and creaminess.
- Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled eggs over the toasted sourdough slices. The warmth will soften the ricotta further, enhancing the creamy texture. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious breakfast toast.
Notes
- Use fresh chives finely chopped for an even, mild onion flavor.
- Whole milk ricotta provides the best creaminess; low-fat versions will be less rich.
- Toast the sourdough bread until golden brown for a crunchy base that contrasts nicely with the soft eggs.
- Keep the heat low and stir constantly during cooking to avoid dry or rubbery eggs.
- This recipe serves 2 people, making it perfect for a quick breakfast or light brunch.
