Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons skim milk
• 100 grams lean ham
• 0.5 medium red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium green bell pepper
• 0.25 medium onion
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the skim milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Dice the lean ham into small cubes. Chop the red and green bell peppers into small pieces and finely chop the onion.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced ham and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to brown slightly.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until it becomes translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the red and green bell peppers and cook for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until it starts to set at the edges.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center, forming soft curds.

Step 8

Continue stirring gently every few seconds until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny. Remove from heat as the residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
