Creamy, Dreamy, and Done in Minutes: Ricotta Scrambled Eggs You’ll Crave Every Morning
When it comes to breakfast, few things are as comforting — or as quick — as scrambled eggs. But what if we told you there’s a simple way to turn ordinary scrambled eggs into a silky, restaurant-worthy dish with just one ingredient?
Say hello to Ricotta Scrambled Eggs — soft, fluffy, ultra-creamy, and so rich they practically melt in your mouth.
With the addition of ricotta cheese, these scrambled eggs go from standard to stunning. And the best part? They take less than 10 minutes to make.
🧀 Why Add Ricotta?
Ricotta cheese brings a mild, slightly tangy flavor and a luxuriously creamy texture to your eggs without overpowering them. The curds melt just enough to blend in, but still leave behind soft, pillowy pockets of richness in every bite.
Plus, ricotta adds a boost of protein and calcium, making your breakfast more satisfying and nutritious.
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:
-
4 large eggs
-
1/4 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk ricotta for best creaminess)
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Optional toppings: chopped chives, fresh herbs, chili flakes, or a drizzle of olive oil
👩🍳 How to Make Ricotta Scrambled Eggs:
-
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until the yolks and whites are well combined.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat and melt the butter.
-
Pour in the eggs and let them sit undisturbed for about 10–15 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing from the edges to the center.
-
When the eggs are about 80% cooked, add the ricotta in spoonfuls across the eggs. Gently fold it in — don’t overmix! You want little pockets of cheese throughout.
-
Cook just until the eggs are set but still soft and glossy. Remove from heat — they’ll continue cooking slightly from residual heat.
-
Serve immediately with toast, avocado, or a side salad.
🥗 Serving Suggestions:
-
Spoon over toasted sourdough with a sprinkle of chives and cracked black pepper
-
Serve alongside roasted cherry tomatoes and sautéed spinach

Wrap in a warm tortilla for a quick breakfast burrito
