Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 100 grams Salt-free diced ham
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of skim milk to the eggs and whisk together until well mixed and slightly frothy.
Gently fold in the 100 grams of salt-free diced ham into the egg mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, ensuring the bottom of the skillet is evenly coated.
Pour the egg and ham mixture into the skillet, allowing it to cook undisturbed for the first minute.
Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs to bring the cooked edges into the center, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the outer parts of the skillet.
Continue slowly stirring and folding the eggs for about 3 to 4 minutes until they are softly set and slightly runny in places.
Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to a perfect consistency.
Season the scrambled eggs with 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper and gently mix.
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnished with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives if using, and enjoy your low sodium meal.
