For the Creamy Layer
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Always use fresh ricotta and drain excess liquid.

Equipment

  • Nonstick skillet
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • Toaster

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, crack open the eggs and add a pinch of salt. Whisk until fully mixed, achieving a frothy texture.
  2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small pat of butter. Allow to melt gently without browning.
  3. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir until just set.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the ricotta cheese until just combined, keeping some clumps intact.
  5. Toast the sourdough slices until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Once the bread is toasted, heap the creamy egg and ricotta mixture on each slice.
  7. Serve immediately with optional garnishes like chives or coarse salt.

Notes

Using fresh ingredients greatly enhances flavor and texture. Gently cooking the eggs prevents a rubbery texture. Toast until golden brown for the best crunch.
