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 eggs
  • 2 oz low-fat cheddar cheese

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.
