Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 thin slices cooked ham, diced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons sliced Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon butter
Directions
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk until completely smooth and slightly frothy.
- Stir in the diced ham (if using), Cheddar cheese, and heavy cream until evenly combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, coating the surface evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit briefly, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center.
- Continue cooking and stirring slowly until the eggs are softly set but still slightly glossy and moist, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Chefs Notes
- For ultra-creamy eggs, cook over medium-low heat and stir gently—avoid rushing the process.
- Remove the eggs from heat just before they’re fully set; they will continue cooking from residual heat.
- Swap ham for cooked bacon or sautéed vegetables for variety.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor.
