Combine eggs and milk in a small bowl, whisk until frothy. Heat small non-stick pan over medium heat, add butter. When the butter is just beginning to bubble, add the egg mixture. When the edges of the egg is just starting to set, using a rubber scrapper, gently swipe the egg across the pan. Don’t flip the egg. Continue to gently swipe the egg across the pan as it cooks. Remove the pan from the burner just as the egg is starting to set. The egg will continue to cook a bit more in the pan. 

Spread the soft scrambled eggs out over the ricotta cheese. Top with capers, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!

Ricotta toast is my go-to summer meal. It's fast, easy, and seriously delicious. Make it a meal with a simple side salad.

Tomato Basil Ricotta Toast

rustic bread (such as sourdough)

olive oil (divided)

½ c. ricotta cheese (divided)

balsamic reduction (to taste)

basil (chopped, to taste)

black pepper (to taste)

maldon sea salt (to taste)

Heat a grill pan to medium. Brush each side of the bread with the olive oil. Grill the bread until toasted, 2-3 minutes per side. Set the bread aside.

Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the cherry tomatoes to the olive oil and toss to coat. Cook the tomatoes over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until they are wilted and starting to burst, 5-6 minutes.

Slather each piece of toasted bread with 2 tbsp ricotta and top with one-quarter of the burst tomatoes. Repeat with the remaining three slices. Drizzle each slice with balsamic reduction, then sprinkle with chopped basil, sea salt, and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
