Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 red pepper
120g
1 tomato
120g
1 egg
50g
1 slice ham
27g
1 oz cheddar cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Dice the red pepper into small cubes.
- Dice the tomato into small cubes.
- Chop the slice of ham into small pieces.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
2. Cooking the Vegetables:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced red pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the pepper begins to soften.
- Add the diced tomato to the skillet. Continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the tomato softens and releases some of its juices.
3. Preparing the Egg:
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly with a fork.
4. Cooking the Scramble:
- Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet.
- Pour the beaten egg into the empty side of the skillet and let it set slightly.
- Once the egg starts to set, gently scramble it, mixing it with the vegetables.
5. Adding Ham and Cheese:
- Add the chopped ham to the skillet, mixing it thoroughly with the egg and vegetables.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
6. Serving:
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Transfer the scramble to a plate and serve immediately.

Tips:

- For a fluffier scramble, whisk the egg with a splash of milk or cream before cooking.

- Make sure to sauté the vegetables until they are soft but still slightly crisp to retain their texture and flavor.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the egg mixture from sticking and ensure an even cook.

- Feel free to add additional herbs like chives or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.

- To make it a heartier meal, serve with a slice of wholegrain toast or alongside some avocado slices.

Enjoy this delicious Ham, Pepper, and Tomato Scramble with Cheddar Cheese as a quick and satisfying breakfast or brunch. With its rich flavors and wholesome ingredients, it’s a fantastic way to fuel your morning.
