Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup cooked ham, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk together with the unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture, ensuring everything is mixed thoroughly.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the diced ham to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to brown lightly.
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds without stirring, then gently push the edges of the eggs to the center using a spatula.
Continue to cook while gently stirring occasionally, allowing the eggs to scramble slowly, for about 3-4 more minutes until they are mostly set but still slightly soft.
Add the chopped green onions and give the eggs one final gentle stir, then remove the pan from the heat.
Serve immediately, topped with extra nutritional yeast if desired, for enhanced cheesy flavor.
