Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 slices of bread
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing ham into small cubes, washing and roughly chopping spinach, and shredding cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Crack eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small pat of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan surface evenly.
- Add diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and slightly crisp around edges.
- Pour whisked eggs into the skillet with ham, and gently stir with a spatula, allowing eggs to slowly scramble and set.
- When eggs are partially set but still slightly wet, fold in chopped spinach and shredded cheese, continuing to gently stir.
- Toast bread slices to golden brown and butter lightly.
- Once eggs are fully cooked but still creamy, remove from heat and divide between two plates.
- Serve immediately with toasted bread on the side, garnishing with additional fresh ground pepper if desired.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Use medium heat to ensure your eggs scramble gently and remain creamy, avoiding dry or overcooked results.
- Cheese Selection: Choose a cheese that melts well, like sharp cheddar or gruyère, for maximum flavor and smooth texture.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality eggs and spinach for the best taste and nutritional value.
- Timing is Key: Add spinach and cheese when eggs are partially set to prevent overcooking and maintain a soft, luxurious texture.
- Bread Perfection: For extra flavor, consider using artisan bread or sourdough and toast it until golden brown.
- Season Wisely: Don't be afraid to experiment with herbs like chives or fresh thyme to add an extra layer of flavor to your scramble.
