Scrambled Eggs with Ricotta and Chives

scrambled eggs with ricotta and chives on a white plateIf you follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve recently been OBSESSED with ricotta. And that includes eggs with ricotta. I whipped up these scrambled eggs with ricotta and chives recently, and I fell in love. They’ve now become a breakfast staple at my house, and once you try them, I think you’ll see why!

Here are a few things I love about this scrambled egg recipe

  1. It’s delicious. Duh.
  2. It only requires a handful of ingredients.
  3. It can be ready within ten minutes.
  4. It’s easy to customize it and add or change ingredients, like including tomatoes or other veggies. If you’re not big on chives, feel free to omit them or just use less.

Oh, and ricotta is the most versatile food, seriously. It works with sweet and it works with savory, and it also works with sweet AND savory at the same time. Lately, I’ve been eating ricotta on toast topped with honey and salt and pepper. Give it a try. You’ll fall in love.

The ricotta is also a good way to add even more protein to your scrambled eggs. Ricotta has about 11 grams of protein per 100 g serving. That’s pretty good when you realize it’s almost as much protein as you get in one egg!

Making scrambled eggs with ricotta and chives

One thing I feel strongly about is that you really don’t need to add milk to scrambled eggs. I think it makes them kind of soggy, and it’s just not necessary. ESPECIALLY when you’re adding cheese, which is creamy on its own.

That’s why I always scramble my eggs in just a tablespoon of butter. It helps them hold their shape and get the best texture. And besides, if you add milk it’s just one more ingredient and step!

Serving options

You can eat these eggs on their own, or jazz it up a bit.

I like to top toast with the eggs, then sprinkle some “Everything But the Bagel” seasoning on top. If you don’t have access to this seasoning from Trader Joe’s, here’s a recipe for a DIY version.
