Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup whole-milk ricotta
  • 1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

To Serve

  • 1 slice crusty sourdough bread, toasted
  • Freshly grated Parmesan, for topping
  • Crushed red pepper flakes, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Spinach: Thaw the frozen chopped spinach completely and squeeze out any excess water to avoid sogginess in the scramble.
  2. Beat Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs, add a pinch of salt, and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Heat Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil, allowing it to warm but not smoke.
  4. Cook Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, cook gently, stirring occasionally to form soft curds, ensuring a creamy texture.
  5. Add Ricotta and Spinach: When eggs are partly set but still moist, fold in the ricotta and spinach to evenly distribute the creamy cheese and greens throughout the scramble.
  6. Finish Cooking: Continue cooking for another minute or until the ricotta is warmed through and eggs are cooked to your preferred consistency, but still moist.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately over the toasted sourdough bread, topped with freshly grated Parmesan and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the thawed spinach completely to prevent watery eggs.
  • Use whole-milk ricotta for a creamier scramble; low-fat versions may alter texture.
  • Adjust salt according to your taste since Parmesan adds salty flavor.
  • Crushed red pepper flakes add a spicy kick but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • Serve immediately for best texture as scrambled eggs can become dry if kept warm too long.
