Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1½ teaspoons Old Bay seasoning or to taste
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1½ tablespoons frying oil or clarified butter
- 4 cups 600 g chopped cooked potatoes
- 2 ounces 60 g turkey ham, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese aged cheddar and Gruyère blend
- Sour cream for serving
- Fresh chives chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and Old Bay seasoning. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil or clarified butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the cooked potatoes and cook until crispy and golden on all sides, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the diced turkey ham and cook for about 1 minute.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes. Cook over low heat, gently stirring only a little so the eggs begin to set without becoming dry.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the top of the Cheesy Potato Egg Scramble.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over low heat for 3–5 minutes, or until the cheese has completely melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve warm with a spoonful of sour cream.
Notes
- Substitute turkey ham with cooked chicken or beef sausage if preferred.
- Sharp cheddar alone also works well if Gruyère isn't available.
- For extra crispiness, let the potatoes brown without stirring too often.
- Serve with toast, fresh fruit, or a simple green salad.
