Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 0.5 cup diced ham
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack 4 eggs and add 2 tablespoons of milk, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add 0.5 cup of chopped red bell pepper, 0.5 cup of chopped green bell pepper, and 0.5 cup of chopped yellow onion to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, or until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
Add 0.5 cup of diced ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is heated through.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and ham in the skillet.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the heated surface.
Continue to cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
Sprinkle 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold until it begins to melt.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the scrambled eggs sit for a minute to allow the cheese to fully melt.
Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnished with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
