Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup diced cooked ham
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add heavy cream. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 2
Add the salt and ground black pepper into the egg mixture and whisk again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter.
Step 4
Once the butter has melted and is slightly foaming, add the diced ham to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the ham. Allow the edges to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula.
Step 6
Continue to cook the eggs gently, stirring occasionally, until they are softly set but still slightly runny for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and give everything a gentle stir until the cheese starts to melt.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
Step 9
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate and garnish with chopped chives, if using.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Scrambled Eggs with Ham!
