Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
Add milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is lightly browned and heated through.
Pour the egg mixture over the ham in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula, bringing the eggs from the edges to the center.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Continue to cook, gently stirring, until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese is melted, but still soft and slightly creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives if desired and serve immediately.
