Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Non-stick Pan
- 1 Spatula Silicone or rubber
- 1 Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
Main
- 4 eggs
- 1-2 tsp creamed corn
- 80 ml cream
- 1 tsp parmesan per egg 4 tsp
- salt
- white pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
- 25-30 g of butter
- 100 g ricotta cheese
- chives
- ground black pepper
- small pinch of truffle salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk the eggs with creamed corn, cream, parmesan, a pinch of salt, and a dash of white pepper until just combined, not frothy.
- Melt butter with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan over very low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the warmed pan. Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges without stirring.
- Gently push the cooked edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking slowly.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still moist and glossy, add spoonfuls of ricotta cheese, gently folding them into the eggs.
- Cook for another minute or two, until the ricotta is warmed through and the eggs reach your desired consistency – still soft and creamy. Do not overcook.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Season with fresh ground black pepper and a small pinch of truffle salt.
- Garnish generously with freshly chopped chives.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Achieving perfect, creamy scrambled eggs requires patience and low heat; avoid overcooking to prevent a rubbery texture. Whisk eggs lightly with creamed corn, cream, and parmesan for an integrated flavor base. Add ricotta towards the end of cooking, gently folding it in to maintain its delicate texture and prevent it from breaking down completely. The combination of olive oil and butter in the pan provides richness and helps prevent sticking while imparting a lovely flavor. Finish with fresh chives, a touch of black pepper, and a pinch of truffle salt for an elevated aromatic profile. Serve immediately for optimal texture.
