Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams low sodium deli ham
- 60 grams low sodium shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk or cream until well blended. Set aside.
Step 2
Chop the low sodium deli ham into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside for garnish.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Step 5
Once the butter is melted, add the chopped ham to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the ham is lightly heated through.
Step 6
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Stir gently and continuously using a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form soft curds.
Step 7
Just before the eggs are fully set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs evenly.
Step 8
Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are softly set and creamy, and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Season with black pepper and remove from heat.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
