Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 100 grams Lean ham
- 1 spritz Cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the eggs and milk are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Dice the lean ham into small cubes. Set aside.
Spray a non-stick skillet with the cooking spray and heat it over medium heat.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it is lightly browned and heated through.
Pour the egg mixture over the ham in the skillet. Allow it to cook without stirring for about 20-30 seconds so the eggs begin to set slightly at the edges.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the pan to fold the cooked portions over the uncooked ones, effectively scrambling the eggs.
Continue cooking and gently stirring for another 2-3 minutes, until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Be careful not to overcook.
Immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to plates, garnishing with chives if desired, and serve hot.
