Ingredients
  

For the Toast
  • 2 large Eggs Can replace with egg whites for a lighter version.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Low-fat ricotta can be used, but may affect the creaminess.
  • 2 slices Sourdough Bread Any sturdy bread works, but sourdough is preferred for flavor.
For the Flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Chives Green onions can be used in place of chives.
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter Oil can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Coarse Salt Sea salt or kosher salt can be used interchangeably.

Equipment

  • Nonstick skillet
  • medium bowl
  • Spatula
  • toaster

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, crack 2 large eggs and add a pinch of coarse salt along with finely chopped chives. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it's well combined and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small pat of unsalted butter, about one teaspoon. Allow the butter to melt gently.
  3. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the warmed skillet. Using a spatula, stir gently and continuously in a circular motion for about 2 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and add a generous scoop of whole milk ricotta to the almost-cooked eggs. Stir delicately until just combined.
  5. While the eggs are resting, toast slices of sourdough bread until they're golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Once the bread has cooled slightly, layer the creamy scrambled egg mixture generously over the toasted sourdough. Serve immediately.

Notes

Remove eggs from heat while slightly runny. Let ricotta sit at room temperature for easier mixing. Toast bread until golden to avoid sogginess.
