Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced ham to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown slightly.
Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini slices, and onion to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the veggies are tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
Push the veggie and ham mixture to one side of the skillet to make room for the eggs.
Crack the eggs into the empty space in the skillet (or crack them into a bowl and pour gently into the skillet). Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the eggs to cook to your desired doneness (about 2-3 minutes for slightly runny yolks, longer for firmer yolks).
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy your Ham Veggie Skillet straight from the pan or transfer to plates!
