Denver Omelet Scrambled Eggs Skillet
Description
The Denver Omelet Scrambled Eggs Skillet uses diced smoked ham steak sautéed with onions and colorful bell peppers cooked until tender but still vibrant. Eggs are vigorously whisked and slowly cooked with butter over low heat to create soft, creamy curds that incorporate the vegetables and ham. The eggs are not overcooked, retaining moisture while binding the ingredients together.
The finishing touch is a sprinkling of shredded low-fat cheddar cheese which melts gently over the warm eggs, adding mild sharpness and richness. The combination delivers a balance of smoky, savory ham, sweet pepper flavors, and comforting creamy eggs.
This dish is quick to prepare and can serve as a filling breakfast or brunch option. It stands well alone or paired with toast or potatoes for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper diced
- 6 oz smoked ham steak diced
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 8 large egg
- 2 oz cheddar cheese low-fat
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over MED heat. Add olive oil, then add onion and both bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender, but still vibrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add diced ham and cook 1-2 minutes more. While ham is cooking, add eggs to a mixing bowl.
- Reduce heat to LOW and add butter to skillet. Whisk eggs vigorously until no streaks remain, then pour into skillet with the onion/pepper/ham mixture.
- Use a rubber spatula and cook, stirring frequently, until eggs bind with the onions, peppers and ham and eggs appear scrambled and wet, but no longer runny. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheese and cover loosely with foil. Serve hot.
