Scrambled Eggs with Ham and Cheddar

This creamy scrambled eggs recipe with ham and cheddar cheese is a quick, delicious breakfast or brunch option that brings together simple ingredients for a flavorful meal. Perfectly fluffy eggs paired with savory ham and rich cheddar make for an irresistible dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • cup cubed cooked ham
  • 2 garlic scapes, sliced
  • 6 large eggs
  • cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • cup shredded white Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, cubed ham, and sliced garlic scapes. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes tender and fragrant.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the cooked onion and ham.
  3. Stir the eggs continuously, cooking them gently until they are almost set but still slightly moist. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs, and continue to cook and stir until the eggs are fully set, about 5 minutes.
  5. Once the eggs are cooked through, top them with the remaining cup of cheddar cheese. Let it melt before serving.
