Ingredients
UnitsScale
4 eggs
2 tbsp heavy cream or milk (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2cup cherry tomatoes
1 yellow tomato or 1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
4 thick-cut bacon strips
2 slices cured ham
Fresh parsley for garnish
1 tbsp butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
Fry the bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In the same pan, lightly sear the cured ham for about 1 minute on each side. Set aside.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until frothy. Add cream or milk if desired.
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet and cook the eggs on low heat, stirring slowly to form creamy curds. Remove from heat when set.
Slice the yellow tomato or bell pepper and lightly sauté or serve raw over the scrambled eggs.
Plate the scrambled eggs, top with yellow tomato slices and chives, then arrange bacon, ham, and cherry tomatoes on the side.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a grind of black pepper before serving.
Notes
Use fresh, large eggs for best texture and flavor.
Turkey bacon can be used as a leaner alternative.
Vegetarian version: substitute bacon and ham with mushrooms or avocado.
Best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
Reheat eggs gently in a skillet; avoid microwaving.
