1/4 teaspoon ground Himalayan pink salt, or to taste

How To Make spinach and ricotta scrambled eggs

Step 1

In a bowl, add eggs, chives, Italian seasoning, hot sauce, salt and pepper; whisk until blended and set aside.

Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 4

Halfway through cooking, add ricotta cheese and spinach. Continue stirring until eggs thicken or there’s no liquid remaining.
Step 5

Divide between two warm plates and garnish with chives.
