Step 1

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Whisk 4 eggs in a medium bowl. Next add in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, and 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt. Mix until well blended.

Step 2

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup ricotta

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When foam subsides, add eggs mixture from step 1 and stir with heatproof silicone spatula until eggs are almost cooked but still runny in parts, tilting skillet and stirring with spatula to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup ricotta and stir just until incorporated but clumps of cheese are still visible.

Step 3

  • Butter
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Whole fresh chives (optional)

Lightly butter your bread of choice and toast to desired doneness. Arrange 2 toasts or 4 baguette slices on each plate. Spoon scrambled ricotta eggs atop toasts. Sprinkle with more coarse salt and pepper. Garnish with whole chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
