This Egg and Ricotta Toast is a creamy and flavorful breakfast recipe featuring softly scrambled eggs enriched with whole milk ricotta cheese and fresh chives, served on toasted sourdough bread. The gentle cooking method ensures a delicate, fluffy texture complemented by the richness of ricotta, making it a satisfying and elegant morning meal.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp coarse salt
  • 1 tbsp chives, finely chopped

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (preferably Kerrygold)
  • 2 slices sourdough bread, toasted until golden brown
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped chives, and coarse salt until well combined. Ensure the eggs are fully beaten and the chives and salt are evenly distributed in the mixture.
  2. Melt Butter in the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter gently. Take care not to let the butter brown; it should just coat the bottom of the skillet lightly.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula to encourage soft, curd-like textures. Continue stirring until the eggs are almost cooked but still slightly runny in parts, about 2 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Ricotta Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat once the eggs are nearly set. Gently stir in the ricotta cheese, mixing just until incorporated while allowing some clumps to remain visible for texture and flavor.
  5. Serve: Immediately spoon the soft scrambled eggs with ricotta over the toasted sourdough slices. The warmth of the eggs will slightly soften the ricotta, creating a creamy and delightful breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Use whole milk ricotta for extra creaminess.
  • Cook eggs gently over medium-low heat to avoid browning and maintain softness.
  • Keep stirring continuously for soft scrambled eggs with a delicate texture.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
  • Optional: Garnish with extra chopped chives or freshly ground black pepper.
