Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup Yellow onion
• 0.5 cup Cooked ham, diced
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 slices Sliced sandwich bread
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for toasting bread)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and yellow onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, then gently stir with a silicone spatula, folding the eggs and veggies together.

Step 5

Continue cooking until the eggs are cooked through but still soft and fluffy, about 2-3 more minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sandwich bread.

Step 7

Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon per batch) and let it melt. Toast the bread slices, mayonnaise-side down, until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwiches by dividing the scrambled egg mixture evenly onto the toasted side of four bread slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread, toasted-side facing inward.

Step 9

Serve the Denver sandwiches warm and enjoy!
