Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, diced yellow onion
- 0.5 cup, diced cooked ham
- 0.5 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
Add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and yellow onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced ham and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the ham is heated through.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the vegetables and ham.
Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until they are softly scrambled and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Western Scramble immediately, garnished with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
