Remove from heat. Add ricotta and stir just until incorporated but clumps of cheese are still visible.

SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH FRESH RICOTTA AND CHIVES
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.
