Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/4 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk or part-skim)
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh herbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully combined and frothy.
2. Gently fold in the ricotta—don’t overmix to keep some creamy texture.
3. Warm butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
4. Pour in the egg mixture and slowly stir with a rubber spatula.
5. Continue cooking low and slow, scraping the pan to form soft curds.
6. When eggs are mostly set but still glossy, remove from heat.
7. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle herbs if using, and serve warm.
Notes
Use low heat to avoid overcooking—slow is the secret to fluffy eggs.
Try adding sautéed spinach, shallots, or a dash of chili flakes for variation.
Pairs well with toast, roasted vegetables, or wrapped in a tortilla.
