Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
- 3 ounces lean ham
- 1 ounce reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 spray olive oil cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, skim milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Finely dice the lean ham and shred the reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 4
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until it is slightly browned.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the ham. Allow the eggs to set slightly at the edges.
Step 6
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pulling them across the pan from edges to center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until they are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs. Continue to cook for 1-2 more minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
