Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 100 grams cooked ham
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the almond milk. Whisk vigorously until the egg mixture is well blended and slightly frothy.
Dice the cooked ham into small, bite-sized pieces about 1 cm in size.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced ham to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it starts to brown and becomes fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the ham. Allow it to sit for a few seconds without stirring so the edges can start to set.
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in a figure-eight pattern, pulling the cooked eggs from the edges toward the center.
Continue to cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until the eggs are just set but still soft and slightly runny. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat while the eggs are slightly undercooked, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and fold in the chopped chives.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your flavorful dairy-free scrambled eggs with ham.
