Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 100 grams Lean low-sodium ham
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 8 Cherry tomatoes
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0 to taste Black pepper
- 0 a pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add the low-fat milk. Whisk together until combined well. Season with a pinch of salt and some black pepper.
Step 2
Dice the lean low-sodium ham into small cubes. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and finely chop the green onions.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced ham and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly browned.
Step 4
Add the sliced cherry tomatoes and chopped green onions to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Step 5
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, stirring until the spinach wilts slightly.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs over low heat, folding them from the outside to the middle.
Step 7
Continue to cook until the eggs are just set but still creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid overcooking as they will continue to cook slightly from the residual heat.
Step 8
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your heart-healthy scrambled eggs with ham for breakfast!
