Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup diced ham
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt, coating the bottom of the skillet evenly.
Once the butter has melted, add the diced ham to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is warmed through and slightly browned.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the ham. Let the mixture sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting on the bottom.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a figure-eight motion, continuously folding and moving the eggs to create soft, creamy curds.
Continue cooking and stirring the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until they are just set but still creamy. Be careful not to overcook, as the eggs will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Divide the creamy ham and eggs onto plates and serve immediately for a satisfying and delicious breakfast.
