Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs – The base of your fluffy scramble.
- 1/4 cup whole milk or coconut milk – Adds richness and extra fluffiness.
- 1/2 cup diced cooked ham or turkey ham – For a savory, smoky touch.
- 1/3 cup crushed pineapple, drained – Brings a sweet tropical flavor.
- 2 tablespoons butter – Ensures soft and creamy eggs.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt – Enhances the flavors.
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper – Adds a little kick.
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions – For freshness and a mild onion flavor.
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (optional) – Melts beautifully into the eggs.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
- Stir in the drained pineapple and diced ham.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs
- Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until melted.
- Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
- Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs every few seconds to create soft curds.
- When the eggs are about 80% cooked, sprinkle in the cheese (if using) and continue folding until melted and fully set.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove from heat while still slightly soft—they will continue to cook from residual heat.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions for freshness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy warm!
Notes
- Whisk Well: The more air you incorporate, the fluffier the eggs!
- Low and Slow: Cooking over medium-low heat prevents overcooking and keeps the eggs creamy.
- Drain the Pineapple: Too much liquid can make the eggs watery, so be sure to drain it well.
- Use a Silicone Spatula: It helps create soft, fluffy curds without breaking them apart too much.
