How To Make spinach and ricotta scrambled eggs

  • 1
    In a bowl, add eggs, chives, Italian seasoning, hot sauce, salt and pepper; whisk until blended and set aside.
  • 2
    In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp. butter and when hot, add spinach. Wilt for about 2 minutes, stirring often. Transfer to a bowl or colander to drain if needed.
  • 3
    In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp. butter. When it starts sizzling, add the egg mixture and let them cook for about 15 seconds without stirring or until they begin to set. Using a spatula, move the mixture across the bottom and sides until it forms large, soft curds.
  • 4
    Halfway through cooking, add ricotta cheese and spinach. Continue stirring until eggs thicken or there’s no liquid remaining.
  • 5
    Divide between two warm plates and garnish with chives.
