  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

  • 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or coarse kosher salt plus more for sprinkling

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instruction 1

Whisk eggs, chopped chives, and 1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel in medium bowl until well blended. Melt butter in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. When foam subsides, add eggs and stir with heatproof silicone spatula until eggs are almost cooked but still runny in parts, tilting skillet and stirring with spatula to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add ricotta and stir just until incorporated but clumps of cheese are still visible.
