Best Soft Scrambled Eggs With Fresh Ricotta And Chives Recipes

SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH FRESH RICOTTA AND CHIVES

Steps:

• 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.

EXTRA-MOIST SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CHIVES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat eggs, chives, salt and pepper with fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
• In 10-inch skillet, heat milk and butter over medium heat just until butter melts and liquid is steaming. Pour egg mixture into skillet.*
• As mixture heats, portions of eggs will begin to set. Gently push cooked portions with metal spatula to the outside edge of skillet. Avoid stirring constantly. As more egg sets, push it to the edge as well and stack it on top of the set egg mixture already there. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.

SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PESTO AND FRESH RICOTTA

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.
