Heat Skillet: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to sizzle and melt, coating the bottom evenly.
-
Saute Ham and Pepper: Add the country ham and red bell pepper to the skillet. Saute them together until the ham is nicely browned and the pepper becomes slightly soft, infusing the butter with their savory flavors.
-
Prepare Egg Mixture: While the ham and pepper are cooking, take a medium bowl and combine the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder. Whisk vigorously until the mixture achieves a uniform color without any streaks, ensuring a smooth and flavorful scramble.
-
Spread Ham Mixture: Once the ham is browned to perfection and the pepper is tender, spread the mixture evenly across the skillet, creating a delicious base for the scrambled eggs.
-
Pour Egg Mixture: Without stirring the ham mixture, pour the prepared egg mixture over it, allowing it to spread evenly across the skillet. Resist the urge to stir at this stage to ensure a fluffy texture to your scrambled eggs.
-
Cook Until Set: As the egg mixture begins to set around the edges, gently lift them with a spatula, allowing any uncooked eggs to flow to the bottom of the skillet. Continue this process until the eggs are almost dry, but still slightly moist.
-
Scramble Eggs: Once the eggs are nearly set, it’s time to “scramble” them! Using a spatula, stir the egg mixture gently, breaking up any large chunks and incorporating the ham and pepper throughout.
-
Add Cheese: As the eggs finish cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Stir the mixture gently once more, allowing the cheese to melt and meld with the savory goodness of the eggs.
-
Serve: Once the cheese is fully melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Southwestern Scrambled Eggs immediately, either on their own or with your favorite breakfast accompaniments.
Enjoy this delightful breakfast dish, bursting with Southwestern flavors and ready to fuel your day with deliciousness!
