Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs.
Whisk the mixture until the eggs are well beaten and the ingredients are fully combined.
In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and starts to sizzle, add the diced ham to the skillet.
Cook the ham for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's lightly browned and heated through.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the ham in the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs continuously in a figure-eight pattern, bringing the cooked edges into the center.
Continue cooking, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking, as the eggs will continue to cook in the residual heat.
Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty scrambled eggs with ham.
