Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup cooked ham, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk together with the unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
Step 2
Stir in the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture, ensuring everything is mixed thoroughly.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the diced ham to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to brown lightly.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Step 6
Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds without stirring, then gently push the edges of the eggs to the center using a spatula.
Step 7
Continue to cook while gently stirring occasionally, allowing the eggs to scramble slowly, for about 3-4 more minutes until they are mostly set but still slightly soft.
Step 8
Add the chopped green onions and give the eggs one final gentle stir, then remove the pan from the heat.
Step 9
Serve immediately, topped with extra nutritional yeast if desired, for enhanced cheesy flavor.
