Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Ham
- 50 grams Cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Finely chop the ham and set aside. Grate the cheddar cheese and set aside as well. Finely chop the chives for garnish.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 4
Add the chopped ham to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until it's heated through and slightly browned.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the egg mixture. Allow it to sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, bringing the cooked edges inward.
Step 6
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring gently and continuously to form curds, for about 4-5 minutes or until creamy and softly set.
Step 7
Just before the eggs are fully cooked, sprinkle the grated cheese over the top. Stir to combine and let the cheese melt into the eggs.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs are still slightly runny, as they will continue to cook in the residual heat. This will give them a creamy texture.
Step 9
Plate the scrambled eggs and garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately.
