Alright, let’s talk about scrambled eggs and ham, you know, the kind of food that fills your belly and gets you goin’ in the mornin’. I ain’t no fancy chef or nothin’, just a regular person who likes to eat good, simple food. And let me tell ya, scrambled eggs and ham, that’s good, simple food.
First off, you gotta get yourself some eggs. Don’t matter if they’re brown or white or whatever color them chickens lay ’em. Just get some eggs. Then, you need some ham. Now, you can buy that fancy ham all sliced up pretty in the store, or you can get a chunk of ham and cut it up yourself. I like to cut it up myself, makes me feel like I’m actually doin’ somethin’. And listen here, don’t go throwin’ away that ham bone! You can use that for soup, ya know. Nothin’ goes to waste in my kitchen.
Okay, so you got your eggs and your ham. Now what? Well, you gotta crack them eggs into a bowl. Don’t be shy, give ’em a good whack. And then you gotta whisk ’em up. You can use a fork, you can use a whisk, you can even use your finger if you want, though I wouldn’t recommend it, gets kinda messy. Just make sure them yolks and whites are all mixed together good.
- Crack the eggs in a bowl.
- Whisk them up real good.
- Cut up the ham into small pieces.
Now, for the ham. You gotta cut that ham up into little pieces. Not too big, not too small, just right. You know, bite-sized pieces. And you can add other stuff too, if you want. Like onions, peppers, cheese, whatever you got in the fridge. I like to add a little bit of onion, gives it a nice flavor. But you do what you like, it’s your eggs and ham, not mine.
Alright, now we’re gettin’ somewhere. Get yourself a pan, put it on the stove, and turn on the heat. Not too high, not too low, just medium. You don’t wanna burn your eggs, and you don’t want ’em to take forever to cook neither. Then, throw in a little bit of butter, or oil, or whatever you use to keep things from stickin’. Let that melt, and then throw in your ham. Let it cook for a little bit, get it nice and crispy. And don’t you be shy with the butter, butter makes everything taste better. That’s what my grandma always said, and she knew how to cook.
Once that ham is cooked, pour in your eggs. And then you gotta stir ’em. Don’t just let ’em sit there, they’ll stick to the pan. Keep stirrin’ ’em until they’re cooked through, but still a little bit soft and fluffy. You don’t want no dry, rubbery eggs. And that’s about it. It ain’t rocket science, you know. Just eggs, ham, and a little bit of elbow grease.
Now, some folks like to add a little bit of milk or cream to their eggs. Makes ’em a little bit richer, they say. I ain’t never done that myself, but you can try it if you want. And some folks like to add salt and pepper, or other spices. Again, it’s up to you. Season ’em however you like. I personally like a good pinch of salt and some black pepper, that’s all you need.
And there you have it, scrambled eggs and ham. A good, hearty breakfast that’ll keep you goin’ all mornin’. Or you can eat ’em for lunch, or dinner, or whenever you feel like it. It’s a good meal for any time of day, if you ask me. And it’s easy to make, even a young’un could do it. So go on, get in the kitchen and make yourself some scrambled eggs and ham. You won’t regret it. And remember what I said, don’t you be throwin’ away that ham bone!
One more thing, about them calories and all that fancy talk. I ain’t never paid much attention to that stuff. I eat when I’m hungry and I stop when I’m full. That’s all the counting I need. But I heard some folks sayin’ that scrambled eggs and ham got a good amount of protein, keeps you strong and healthy. And that sounds good to me. So eat up, and don’t worry too much about them numbers, just enjoy your food.
And if you’re feeling extra fancy, you can add some other stuff to your scrambled eggs and ham. Like cheese, or tomatoes, or mushrooms. Or you can serve it with a side of toast, or potatoes, or fruit. The possibilities are endless, really. But even just plain old scrambled eggs and ham is good enough for me. It’s a classic for a reason, you know. It fills you up and it tastes good, that’s all that matters.
So that’s my take on scrambled eggs and ham. Nothin’ fancy, just good eatin’. Now go on and try it yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
