great and simple recipe
I used leftover ground beef from last night’s tacos instead of ham. I also added tomato and spinach (with some avocado and a dash of sour cream on the side). Delicious!
I have made this for years. It is easy, quick, great for anytime of the day and can be made adding just about anything that sounds good. This can even be made into a very good Huevos Rancheros by adding a few ingredients and putting them in a warm tortilla. I make it with bacon fried cut into half inch squares give or take then cut up some potato, as much or little as we want, into no more than half inch cubes then rinse and dry and fry the potato, onion and whatever else you add in at this time that needs longer frying time in the bacon grease then put the potatoes on a napkin or paper towel to drain. Drain most of the rest of the bacon drippings after frying the potatoes leaving just enough to scramble the eggs. Once the eggs are nearly set add the pre-cooked onions, bacon, cheese and potatoes just long enough to melt the cheese and voila. Heaven on earth! Add other ingredients as you like and spice it up a bit for Huevos Rancheros. This recipe CANNOT be ruined unless you leave too much bacon drippings.
I add some bacon bits on top and it was just so good. And everyone loves it!
I added I in onion powder instead and white onions. It was delicious! I would do it again!
very good!!
Needed something simple for a Men’s Prayer breakfast. This was perfect. Quick, easy and everyone went back for more. No leftovers! It was great!
Not bad for a first timer … So good can’t wait to let my husband taste it..
Very delicious! I am a college student learning how to cook and this was by far easy and very tasty.
Yep, it’s a good’un. The only changes made were the addition of a red bell pepper, some sliced fresh mushrooms, and a generous shake, shake, shake of cayenne pepper. Loved by Mrs. Elk Guy and our two sons.
Yes we did …but added a little diced jalapeno and tomato….the best
This was so good. I made this exactly as written and my 2 year old gobbled it up so fast I barely got to try it. Definitely toddler approved!
This recipe is amazing. We’ve used it with ham, chicken, and leftover pork tenderloin.
Excellent recipe! This was fast to put together, tasted wonderful and was very filling too. I used onion powder and only 1 tsp. and didn’t have a full cup of cheese. I didn’t stir this while cooking, I lifted the cooked edges and let the uncooked egg run beneath and put a lid on the pan so I wouldn’t have to attempt turning this over. This fed two of us so if you are really planning on feeding this to four then you should increase the recipe. Of course, we had it for dinner with only biscuits and honey butter for sides. It was great though and we both enjoyed this meal very much. Thanks!
Delicious! I added some frozen corn to give it some sweetness. I’ll make this again! Thanks!
My family loves this! A nice change from regular scrambled eggs i did make omlets with this Recipe Delicious!!!
This was a hit with the crowd and so easy to make! Next time I will not add salt since it’s already in the ham and butter. I used a lot of ham so there was just as much ham as there was egg.
We do low carb and were getting bored with our breakfast choices. I made this today, substituting sausage, browned, drained and crumbled, added when the eggs were almost set. Like someone else, I sauteed the onion, along with some diced bell pepper, then just added the egg mixture to the skillet, finishing with the sausage and cheese. I thought my husband was going to eat the plate! It was so good!
Very, very good recipe… Thanks for posting it!
add bell pepper; mushrooms, cayenne powder. Cook before adding egg mixture. Update, used sausage, fantastic, next time no salt if using sausage.
Made this for brinner tonight. Delicious. I added some chopped red bell pepper and had to leave the shredded cheese out because I am out of cheese. Great for breakfast or dinner!!
