Instructions

1

Saute the Vegetables and Ham

Melt the butter in an oven safe skillet over medium high heat and add the diced bell pepper and ham. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes stirring frequently until the peppers have softened slightly and the ham is lightly browned and fragrant.

2

Pour in the Eggs

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the beaten eggs evenly over the ham and pepper mixture in the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges are set and only the center remains slightly jiggly.

3

Add Cheese and Finish

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top and cover the skillet with a lid for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the eggs are cooked through. Slice into wedges and serve directly from the pan.

Substitutions

deli hamcooked crumbled bacon or breakfast sausage for a different savory protein
cheddar cheeseMonterey Jack or pepper jack for a creamier slightly spicy finish

Common mistakes

Using high heat throughout which causes the eggs to become rubbery and overcooked on the outside before setting in the center
Not covering the skillet in the final step which means the top of the eggs never fully set without flipping
