- 4 large free-range eggs, room temperature
- 1 tbsp. chives, chopped plus more for garnish tips & tricks
- 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning see Recipe
- 1/2 tbsp. hot sauce of your choice, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp. ground Himalayan pink salt, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, or to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
- 2 tbsp. butter, divided
- 1 cup packed baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, drained if needed tips & tricks
In a bowl, add eggs, chives, Italian seasoning, hot sauce, salt and pepper; whisk until blended and set aside.
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.
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.
Halfway through cooking, add ricotta cheese and spinach. Continue stirring until eggs thicken or there’s no liquid remaining.
Divide between two warm plates and garnish with chives.
