Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 100 grams ham
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Chop the ham into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until fully blended.

Step 3

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 4

Add the chopped ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and heated through.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the ham. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a few seconds until the edges begin to set.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, creating soft curds. Continue gently stirring and folding the eggs as they cook, being careful not to over-stir.

Step 7

When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, add the cream cheese in small dollops throughout the pan.

Step 8

Fold the eggs gently to incorporate the cream cheese, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set but still moist and creamy.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and divide the scrambled eggs between two plates.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped chives if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
