Creamy Scrambled Eggs with Ham is a classic breakfast dish that combines fluffy, rich eggs with savory ham for a satisfying start to your day. The secret to these perfectly creamy scrambled eggs lies in the gentle cooking process and the addition of a touch of cream, which makes them incredibly soft and luxurious. Paired with the smoky flavor of diced ham, this dish is both simple and comforting, perfect for busy mornings or a leisurely weekend brunch.
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or whole milk
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream (or milk), salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the ham: In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced ham and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it’s lightly browned and heated through. Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the scrambled eggs: Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, pour in the egg mixture. Let the eggs sit for a few moments until they begin to set around the edges. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling them from the edges to the center. Continue to cook the eggs slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but still soft and creamy.
- Add the ham: Just before the eggs are fully cooked, stir in the cooked ham. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy and the ham is well distributed.
- Serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve immediately with toast, fresh fruit, or your favorite breakfast sides.
Enjoy your Creamy Scrambled Eggs with Ham as a comforting and hearty breakfast that’s sure to keep you satisfied all morning!
