Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs pasture raised if possible
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk ricotta cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • minced soft fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, basil or dill (optional)
  • buttered toast for serving optional

Notes

  • This recipe only makes one serving and can be scaled up to serve as many as you like as long as you follow the low and slow technique. The more eggs you have, the longer it will take for them to set. Have patience.
  • The key is to really make sure the eggs are beaten really well before cooking. I use an immersion blender to make it easy, but you can just use a whisk and lots of elbow grease to really break them down and incorporate some air. The goal is to not see any distinct bits of egg white or yolk, but rather one homogenous yellow mixture. 
  • It's important to keep the heat as low as possible and continually move the eggs around the pan until they're just set. Have patience, it may take more time than you're used to but it's worth it. 
  • The eggs can go from perfect to overdone in a matter of seconds so as soon as they're finished cooking, remove from the heat and serve immediately.
