Ricotta Eggs
Description
Ricotta Eggs blend whisked eggs with whole milk ricotta cheese, cooked gently in butter or olive oil to achieve a soft and creamy scramble. The addition of pecorino cheese contributes a salty, nutty flavor, balanced by optional crushed red pepper for a mild kick and green onions for freshness. The eggs are cooked to desired consistency, maintaining the moisture from the ricotta for a tender bite.
Finished ricotta eggs can be served straight from the pan or spooned atop toast or chaffles, which add a crisp contrast to the creamy scramble. This combination provides a satisfying start to the day with a nuanced texture.
The recipe notes include a simple method for making low-carb chaffles by combining eggs and cheddar cheese in a mini waffle maker, resulting in crispy mini waffles that pair well with the ricotta eggs.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 6 large egg whisked
- 1/3 /3 cup ricotta cheese whole milk
- 2 tablespoons pecorino cheese (grated Parmesan can be substituted)
- crushed red pepper to taste
- green onion to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the eggs and ricotta. Scramble the eggs to desired consistency.
- Top with salt and pepper and Pecorino cheese. Add a sprinkle of red pepper and green onions to taste.
- Serve plain, over toast, or a chaffle for Keto (see note).
Notes
- Chaffles are made by whisking 2 eggs with 1 cup cheddar cheese and a pinch of garlic salt, then cooked in a mini waffle maker until crisp, producing 4 mini waffles.
