Categories     breakfast, quick, main course

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 tablespoon butter
3 large eggs
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 heaping tablespoon pesto, more to taste
3 tablespoons fresh ricotta cheese, broken up into clump

Steps:

  • Over medium-high heat, melt butter in a medium-size skillet, preferably well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick.
  • Beat eggs with salt, pepper and, if using, Parmesan cheese. Pour eggs into pan, swirl and turn heat to low. Using a heat-proof rubber spatula, stir eggs constantly until very loosely set and slightly runnier than you like them.
  • Remove pan from heat and drizzle pesto on eggs. Off heat, give eggs one more gentle stir -- enough to finish cooking them and to distribute pesto in dark green streaks. Scatter ricotta on eggs and drizzle with more pesto if desired. Serve at once.

SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH FRESH RICOTTA AND CHIVES



Soft Scrambled Eggs With Fresh Ricotta and Chives image

A simple, creamy , and delicious recipe from From Bon Appétit Magazine (April 2008). Use more or less ricotta depending on your preference (I like it with less but the original recipe calls for a 1/2 cup). You can use regular ricotta, but it's even better with fresh ricotta.
