Fresh ricotta brings out the eggs' creaminess.
Ingredients
Makes 2 servings
Step 1
Whisk eggs, chopped chives, and 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel in medium bowl until well blended. Melt butter in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When foam subsides, add eggs 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 ricotta and stir just until incorporated but clumps of cheese are still visible.
Step 2
Arrange 2 toasts or 4 baguette slices on each of 2 plates. Spoon scrambled eggs atop toasts. Sprinkle with more fleur de sel and pepper. Garnish with whole chives, if desired.

I found out I don’t really like ricotta with my eggs. Oh well, you never know which combinations you’ll like sometimes. Happy eating!

It was heavenly! The coarse salt is key!

Good quick recipe. I only had regular ricotta in the house and it was still good.

I added the ricotta during the last minute of cooking the eggs. added chopped tomatoes on the side- better salted. Excellent.

Simple comfort food. I served it on toasted ciabatta and the textural contrast made it that much better. Change up the herbs based on what's in the house or garden and it's an easy breakfast!

Oh my gosh - this made my day. First of all, even my pick almost 2 year old ate them and he doesn't usually eat eggs. Second of all, they sounded a little bland, but I didn't even use the chives and they were great! I did halve the ricotta like the previous reviewers suggested.

The picture shows pepper on the eggs, but the recipe lists no pepper. it does need it, used 1/4 tsp. Also the amount of ricotta overwhelmed the eggs, I used half as much as it was good. Would make it again with above changes.

I thought I reviewed this the last time I made it, but apparently not. Anyway, this recipe is really easy and tasty, but I never would have thought of it myself. I used 1 tsp dried tarragon instead of chives and coconut oil instead of butter. On this occasion I used a sheep's-milk ricotta, which had some tang. I'll probably make this whenever I have extra ricotta.
