Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 ounces ham
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together with the heavy cream until well combined. Set aside.
Dice the ham into small cubes. Chop the bell peppers into small pieces. Thinly slice the green onions.
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the ham and cook for about 2 minutes until it's lightly browned.
Add the chopped bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the spinach and green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, letting them cook slowly while lightly folding the eggs with the ham and vegetables.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Continue to cook the eggs, gently pushing them from one side to the other in folding motions, until they are cooked to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with additional sliced green onions if desired.
