SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PESTO AND FRESH RICOTTA



SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PESTO AND FRESH RICOTTA image

Categories     Egg     Breakfast

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 (see recipe)
3 tablespoons fresh ricotta cheese, broken up into clumps.

Steps:

  • 1. Over medium-high heat, melt butter in a medium-size skillet, preferably well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick. 2. 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. 3. 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 RICOTTA AND CHIVES



Soft Scrambled Eggs with Ricotta and Chives image

Categories     Bread     Egg     Breakfast     Ricotta     Kosher

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large eggs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
4 (1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick) slices whole-grain bread, or 8 whole-grain baguette slices, lightly toasted and buttered
Whole chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Whisk the eggs, chopped chives, and 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel in a medium bowl until well blended. Melt the butter in a heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add the eggs and stir with a heatproof silicone spatula until the eggs are almost cooked but still runny in parts, tilting the skillet and stirring with the spatula to allow any uncooked portion to flow underneath, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the ricotta and stir just until incorporated but clumps of cheese are still visible.
  • Arrange 2 toasts or 4 baguette slices on each of 2 plates. Spoon the scrambled eggs atop the toasts. Sprinkle with more fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper. Garnish with whole chives, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best results. Older eggs may have a watery or off flavor.
  • Cook the eggs slowly: Don't rush the cooking process. Cook the eggs over low heat, stirring constantly, until they are just set. This will prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be dry and tough. Cook them just until they are set, then remove them from the heat.
  • Season the eggs: Season the eggs with salt and pepper, to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as herbs or spices.
  • Serve the eggs immediately: Scrambled eggs are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Soft scrambled eggs with pesto and fresh ricotta are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for a quick meal on a busy weeknight or for a special brunch.
