Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup diced cooked ham
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add heavy cream. Whisk together until well combined.
Add the salt and ground black pepper into the egg mixture and whisk again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted and is slightly foaming, add the diced ham to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the ham. Allow the edges to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula.
Continue to cook the eggs gently, stirring occasionally, until they are softly set but still slightly runny for about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and give everything a gentle stir until the cheese starts to melt.
Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate and garnish with chopped chives, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Scrambled Eggs with Ham!
