Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup, diced Ham
- 1/4 cup, finely chopped Green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup, finely chopped Onion
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1/3 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Bread slices
- optional, as needed for toasting the bread Cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until combined.
Stir in the diced ham, chopped green bell pepper, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper into the eggs. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and sizzling.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still soft, approximately 3-5 minutes. Avoid overcooking as they will continue to set after being removed from the heat.
Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from heat and stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese until evenly incorporated and melted. Set aside.
Toast the bread slices. You can do this using a toaster or by lightly buttering individual slices and frying them in a skillet over medium-low heat until golden brown.
To assemble each sandwich, place half of the egg mixture on one slice of the toasted bread. Top with a second slice of toasted bread to complete the sandwich.
Cut each sandwich diagonally for easier handling if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
