Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 100 grams Salt-free diced ham
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of skim milk to the eggs and whisk together until well mixed and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Gently fold in the 100 grams of salt-free diced ham into the egg mixture.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, ensuring the bottom of the skillet is evenly coated.
Step 5
Pour the egg and ham mixture into the skillet, allowing it to cook undisturbed for the first minute.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs to bring the cooked edges into the center, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the outer parts of the skillet.
Step 7
Continue slowly stirring and folding the eggs for about 3 to 4 minutes until they are softly set and slightly runny in places.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to a perfect consistency.
Step 9
Season the scrambled eggs with 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper and gently mix.
Step 10
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnished with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives if using, and enjoy your low sodium meal.
