Print Recipe

A quick and easy breakfast scramble featuring tender ham, soft scrambled eggs, and a creamy green sauce made with spinach, herbs, and cream cheese for a flavorful and comforting morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup cooked ham, diced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, packed
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh lemon juice or smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Wash and roughly chop the spinach. Chop the parsley and slice the green onions. Dice the cooked ham into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and whole milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add the chopped spinach, parsley, and green onions. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Crack the eggs into the bowl with the creamy green mixture. Beat everything together until well incorporated and slightly frothy.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
  5. Add the diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until warmed and aromatic.
  6. Pour the creamy green egg mixture over the ham. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds until the edges start to set.
  7. Gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center using a silicone spatula. Continue cooking slowly, folding every 30 seconds until the eggs are mostly set but still creamy and slightly runny (about 3-4 minutes).
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a pinch of smoked paprika if desired.
  9. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Cook eggs on medium-low heat to avoid rubbery texture. Fold gently instead of stirring to keep eggs fluffy. Remove from heat when eggs are slightly runny as they will finish cooking off the heat. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Leftovers keep well for 2 days in the fridge and reheat gently.
