How to Make Southern Egg Scrambled Breakfast

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers, and 1/2 cup chopped onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until onions are translucent and tender.
  3. Stir in 1 cup diced ham and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through and steaming.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, crack 1 dozen eggs. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 heaping tablespoon of sour cream.
  5. Whisk vigorously with a wire whisk until the eggs are light and fluffy.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the ham and vegetable mixture in the skillet.
  7. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the top.
  8. Gently stir the eggs as they cook, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking. Cook until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 5-7 minutes.
