One of our most favorite breakfasts is scrambled eggs with ham and cheese. A warm and cheesy egg dish with bits of cooked ham in every bite. Serve with a side of buttered toast and your favorite glass of juice. Enjoy a great start to your day!
Scrambled Eggs with Ham and Cheese
Sometimes breakfast isn’t breakfast without a plate of scrambled eggs with ham and cheese!
If you have an EGG-LOVIN family like we do, mix it up! Instead of just plain old scramble eggs, add a little ham and Dijon mustard for some breakfast excitement.
Don’t forget your buttered toast and a big glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
What You need for these Delicious Ham and Cheese Scrambled Eggs –
- 6 fresh eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk or half and half
- 2 tablespoon butter – we always use salted butter.
- 1 cup diced ham (See our Favorite Diced Ham)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Step 1. Mix the mustard, half and half, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Crack the 6 eggs into a medium-sized bowl and spoon in the mustard mixture; whisk lightly. Slowly whisk in the cheese.
Step 2. Melt butter in a medium frying pan and add the ham. Cook for about 2-3 minutes to warm ham before adding the egg mixture. With the heat on medium-low, add the egg mixture to the skillet and immediately start moving the eggs around the pan with a spatula. Cook the eggs on a lower heat.
Step 3. Cook until eggs are cooked through and slightly firm yet a bit creamy. Enjoy those breakfast eggs!

What Eggs to Buy for an Omelet?
We always buy organic eggs and typically stick to one trusted brand. You can read more about what eggs to buy here. Some egg brands have gotten a bad rap in the past so we always stick to a trusted brand even if they are slightly more in price.
Best Ham for Scrambled Eggs?
We love the Sugardale diced ham that comes in a resealable package. This ham will keep pretty long in the refrigerator and there are many ways to use this delicious and convenient ham. You could also use any leftover ham and just cut it into small bits.
Why we Love Eating Eggs for Breakfast
Eggs are one of nature’s most perfect foods. Essential vitamins and minerals and tons for protein. Read more on eggs are the most perfect food.
What Type of Cheese to Use in Scrambled Eggs?
We love to use shredded cheddar cheese, but you could also use a yummy Mozzarella cheese as well.
EGG TIPS:
- Always crack your eggs into a bowl and never into the pan.
- When eggs are done cooking to your liking, remove from the heat and get them quickly on a plate to prevent them from further cooking.
- When cooking scrambled eggs, remember to keep the heat on low to prevent cooking too fast. This keeps the eggs nice and creamy.
Always use A Good Non-Stick Pan for the Best Eggs
When making scrambled eggs, the pan you use is important, so the eggs don’t stick to the pan. Non-stick pans wear out and a heavily used one should be replaced every few years. Our pick for a great pan is the Blue Diamond Ceramic Nonstick 10″ Frying Pan Skillet, PFAS-Free, Oven and Dishwasher Safe. Find out more here —> https://amzn.to/3DvrWFV
