Cacio e Pepe Eggs

December 7, 2019 by Alex

This recipe gives the typical scrambled eggs a little flair. The ricotta lends a lot of substance and protein to this breakfast. I like to have these with some buttered (or avocado) toast and a bright, citrusy salad. This dish was inspired by a Mediterranean brunch restaurant I found in St. Louis.

Ingredients

 

2 eggs

¼ cup whole milk ricotta cheese

2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

1 pat of butter for the pan (1/3 tbsp)

Instructions

 

1.     In a small bowl, whisk together egg with ricotta and a pinch of salt and desired amount of pepper.

2.     In a small frying pan melt butter on medium heat.

3.     When butter starts bubbling, add egg mixture.

4.     Gently shuffle the liquid back and forth around the pan so that no part of the egg mixture is in the same place for more than a few seconds.

5.     Egg will start to curdle. Add grated Parmesan.

6.     Continue the back and forth shuffling until the eggs are no longer liquid, about 2-3 minutes.

7.     Serve immediately!

Caramelized Mushroom and Onion Tart

I think my fascination with tarts is coming to a close soon. I’m sure it’ll make a resurgence after I’ve had some caloric recovery time from the holidays! I can only eat so much creamed cheese before the new pants I got last week won’t fit anymore.  Anyway, the gist of it is this:  First,…
