How to Make Soft Scrambled Eggs With Fresh Ricotta And Chives

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, chives, and fleur de sel until light and frothy.
  2. Melt the butter in a heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. The butter should be melted and slightly foaming.
  3. Once the foam subsides, pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently and frequently with a heatproof spatula, for about 2 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet. Tilt the pan and use the spatula to help the uncooked egg flow underneath, creating a creamy texture.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately.
  5. Gently stir in the ricotta cheese until just combined. Some small lumps of ricotta are desirable.
  6. Arrange the toasted baguette slices on two plates.
  7. Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the toast.
  8. Season with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of additional fleur de sel, if desired.
  9. Garnish with extra fresh chives, if you like.
