How to Make Scrambled Eggs With Ricotta Cheese

  1. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together the eggs and ricotta cheese until just combined. Do not overmix.
  2. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. The butter should be melted but not browned.
  3. Once the foam subsides, pour in the egg and ricotta mixture.
  4. Cook, stirring gently and frequently with a spatula, until the eggs are set but still creamy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Avoid stirring too vigorously, which can make the eggs tough.
  5. Remove from heat when the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet. The eggs will continue to cook from the residual heat.
  6. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil leaves.
  8. Serve immediately, alongside toasted bread and sliced tomatoes, if desired.
