Instructions
-
Prepare the Pan: Begin by spraying a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray. Place the pan on your stove and heat it up over medium to medium-high heat. For electric stoves, use medium heat, and for gas stoves, use medium-high.
-
Mix the Eggs: While the pan is heating up, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add in the Worcestershire sauce, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk everything together with a fork just until the ingredients are blended. 🎨
-
Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan. Stir continually with a spatula or wooden spoon for about 2 to 3 minutes. The constant stirring helps to ensure that the eggs cook evenly and maintain their creamy texture. Because of the milk, the eggs will stay moist but should not be runny or sticky. 👩🍳
-
Add Ham and Cheese: Once the eggs are cooked, turn off the heat but leave the pan on the burner. Add the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese to the pan. Stir everything together until the ham is heated through and the cheese is melted. The residual heat from the pan will help with this. 🧀
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is well combined and the cheese is melted, your perfect ham and cheese scrambled eggs are ready to serve. Plate up your delicious creation and enjoy! 🌟
Serving Suggestions
- For an extra touch, you can garnish the scrambled eggs with chopped fresh herbs such as chives or parsley.
- Pair these scrambled eggs with a slice of whole-grain toast or a side of fresh fruit for a complete and balanced breakfast.
Tips for the Perfect Scramble
- Don’t overwhisk: Whisk the eggs just until the yolks and whites are combined. Overwhisking can lead to overly firm eggs.
- Keep it moving: Constantly stir the eggs in the pan to prevent them from setting too quickly and to maintain that creamy texture.
- Use a non-stick pan: This helps to prevent the eggs from sticking and makes for easier clean-up.
Enjoy these scrumptious scrambled eggs with ham and cheese for a quick, satisfying, and nutritious meal any time of day! 🌞🥓🧀🍳
