Prep Time 1 hour

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz ham diced into small bite-sized pieces
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 10 ounces Steamed or thawed from frozen broccoli
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 1 tsp herbs such as tarragon thyme or rosemary
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 4 ounces grated cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 + tbsp butter or tallow

Method
 

  1. Scramble eggs in bowl with milk. Wisk in a large pinch of salt
  2. If ham is uncooked, brown in cast iron skillet, adding butter or tallow, if meat is pretty lean.
  3. When meat is almost brown, turn burner down to low (cast iron will keep the heat for a bit while vegetables begin to cook).
  4. Add more butter to skillet as needed and add in vegetables, garlic, herbs and a pinch or 2 of salt and a several grinds of pepper.
  5. When vegetables begin to soften, pour egg and milk mixture over vegetables.
  6. Meanwhile, don’t stir, just allow eggs to slowly cook. When there is a thin layer, maybe a quarter inch, of raw egg still on the top, transfer skillet to a low broiler for just a few minutes.
  7. Once the egg has cooked, top with grated cheese and put back under the broiler for just a couple more minutes while cheese melts.
  8. Cut into wedges to serve. Most importantly, don’t forget those touches that make it look like it was a lot of work.
