How to Make Better Scramble

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and 1/2 cup diced ham. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup milk, 2 ounces softened cream cheese, 4 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of paprika (optional) until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the ham and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still slightly moist.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the top.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
