Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 100 g ham
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp butter
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Dice the ham into small bite-sized pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and coat the pan.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and warmed through.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the ham.
Using a spatula, slowly stir and fold the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet as they cook to ensure they remain fluffy and do not stick.
Cook the eggs gently until they are set but still soft and slightly creamy. This should take 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Serve the scrambled eggs and ham hot, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
