Keto Denver Scramble

8 large eggs 4 oz diced ham (or turkey ham) 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (mix of red, green, yellow) 1/4 cup diced onion 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice) 2 tbsp butter (for cooking) Salt and pepper to taste Optional: hot sauce, fresh herbs (chives, parsley)

1. Prep ingredients: Dice ham, bell peppers, and onion into small, uniform pieces.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp butter.

3. Sauté vegetables: Add diced onion and bell peppers. Cook 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

4. Add ham: Stir in diced ham and cook 2 minutes until heated through and edges slightly crispy.

5. Scramble eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter to skillet.

6. Pour eggs over ham and vegetable mixture. Let sit 30 seconds, then gently scramble with a spatula, folding and stirring until eggs are nearly set but still slightly wet.

7. Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over eggs and fold in. Remove from heat (residual heat will finish cooking eggs and melt cheese).

8. Serve immediately with avocado slices, turkey bacon, or your favorite keto sides.

Tips:

• Don't overcook eggs - remove from heat when still slightly wet for creamy texture
• Use full-fat cheese for best flavor and texture
• Can substitute turkey or chicken for ham
• Add jalapeños for spicy Denver scramble
