Creamy Scrambled Eggs with Cheese and Chives

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
• 1/4 cup minced chives or scallion greens
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Whisk the eggs with the ricotta, chives, salt and pepper, to taste, in a bowl until evenly blended.

Melt the butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a rubber spatula for soft, fluffy curds. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs set into a soft creamy curd (if the eggs cook too long the cheese will begin to weep.) Divide the eggs between 2 plates and serve hot.
