Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup diced cooked ham
- 0.5 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit undisturbed for 30-40 seconds, allowing the bottom to set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently stir and scrape the eggs from the edges towards the center, creating soft curds.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, and chopped spinach evenly over the eggs.
Continue gently stirring and folding the mixture until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and slightly glossy. Avoid overcooking as the eggs will continue to firm up off the heat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the scramble to rest for 1 minute before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately with toast, avocado, or fresh fruit on the side.
