Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Low sodium cooked ham
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chive, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
1. Begin by prepping your ingredients. Finely chop the chives and set them aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the low sodium ham slices.
3. Cook the ham for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are heated through and slightly golden. Transfer them to a plate and cover to keep warm.
4. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add 2 tablespoons of water. Whisk the eggs until they are well blended.
5. Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
6. Once the butter is melted, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
7. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 1 minute, then gently stir them with a spatula to form soft curds.
8. Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until they reach your desired consistency.
9. Season the eggs with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
10. Serve the scrambled eggs alongside the cooked ham slices, garnished with chopped chives.
