Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy. This will ensure your eggs are fluffy and smooth.
Step 2
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper. Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
Step 3
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, spreading evenly over the surface of the skillet.
Step 4
Add the diced ham to the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is heated through and beginning to brown lightly.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the ham. Let it sit undisturbed for just a few seconds so the eggs begin to set on the bottom.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, pulling from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook, slowly stirring until the eggs are mostly set but still a little runny. This helps maintain the creaminess of the scramble.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. Fold the cheese into the eggs gently, letting it melt as you continue to fold.
Step 8
Once the eggs are fully cooked to your desired consistency and the cheese has melted thoroughly, remove the skillet from heat.
Step 9
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately. Garnish with chopped chives, if using, for a fresh pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your keto cheesy ham scrambled eggs hot!
