Ingredients

  • ½ cup ham cubed
  • 1 small orange bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeño pepper cored, seeded, and minced
  • 1 cup hash brown potatoes thawed
  • ½ cup red onion chopped
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 TBS butter
  • 1 Roma tomato seeded and diced

Instructions

  • Chop the fresh vegetables into chunky pieces about ½" in size. Cube the ham.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet on medium. Add the ham cubes. Cook just long enough to get a little color on them. Remove to a large plate and set aside.
  • Add a pat of butter to the hot skillet and cook the fresh vegetables until just tender. Remove them to the plate with the ham and set aside.
  • Add another dab of butter to the skillet and cook the hash browns until golden.  Add them to the plate with the ham, peppers, and onions.
  • Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
  • Grate the cheddar cheese and set aside.
  • Add the vegetables, hash browns and ham to the skillet on medium heat and cook until warmed through.
  • Pour the beaten eggs over the top and season to taste with salt and pepper. Don't start stirring immediately. Let the eggs start to cook first, but do not leave them long enough to begin browning.
  • Gently fold and stir until the scrambled eggs are as you like them.
  • Add the cheese at the last-minute, stir, and remove onto the serving plates. Serve hot!
