Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced cooked ham
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté bell pepper and onion 4-5 minutes until softened, releasing their moisture before the eggs go in — this is what keeps the final scramble from turning watery.

  2. 2

    Add the diced ham and cook 2 minutes until warmed through.

  3. 3

    Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet.

  4. 4

    Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until soft curds form and the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.
