This delicious and nutritious meal combines savory ham, sweet pineapple, and melted Swiss cheese, all brought together in a fluffy egg base.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 oz ham
54g
1/2 cup pineapple
80g
1 egg
54g
9 tbsp egg whites
140g
2 oz swiss cheese
54g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Dice the ham into small pieces.
- Cut the pineapple into chunks if they are not already.
- Shred or cube the Swiss cheese.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large non-stick skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until it's shimmering.
3. Cook the Ham:
- Add the diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to brown and becomes slightly crispy.
4. Add Pineapple:
- Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet with the ham. Stir occasionally, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the pineapple is warm and some juices are released.
5. Prepare the Eggs:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole egg and the egg whites until well combined.
6. Add the Eggs to the Skillet:
- Pour the egg mixture over the ham and pineapple in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds so the eggs start to set.
7. Scramble the Eggs:
- Gently stir the mixture, using a spatula to scrape the bottom of the skillet, folding the eggs over as they cook. Continue to cook until the eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle the Swiss cheese over the eggs. Stir gently until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked, about 1-2 minutes more.
9. Serve:
- Immediately transfer the scramble to a plate and serve hot. Enjoy your Hawaiian Pineapple Egg Scramble with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or some fresh herbs, if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid extra moisture in the scramble.

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking and make cleaning up easier.

- For a richer flavor, substitute olive oil with butter.

- Whisk the eggs and egg whites together thoroughly to achieve a uniformly airy texture.

- Chop the ham and pineapple into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a bit of paprika or cayenne pepper.

With just a few simple steps and ingredients, you can bring a taste of tropical paradise to your breakfast table. The Hawaiian Pineapple Egg Scramble offers a balanced mix of sweet and savory flavors, making it an unforgettable meal that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Enjoy this delightful dish with a cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of juice.
