Directions
- Chop the chives into small pieces and set a portion aside for garnish.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- In a bowl, crack the eggs, add chopped chives, and season with salt; whisk until blended.
- Add butter to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom, then pour in the eggs.
- Gently scramble the eggs, moving them with a spatula and folding from the edges so they cook evenly, about 2 minutes until almost set but still a touch runny.
- Remove the pan from heat and fold in the ricotta; the residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
- Toast the bread if desired, then spoon the eggs onto the toast, sprinkle with the reserved chives, and finish with salt and pepper to taste.
Two tips
- Chop the chives ahead of time and refrigerate for quick assembly.
- If you have leftover chives, sprinkle them over the finished dish for extra color and aroma.
