Recipe Notes
- Instead of oregano, you can try different seasoning blends, such as Mediterranean seasoning or Italian herb seasoning.
- If making an egg sandwich, you can spread a layer of cream cheese on your bagel, English muffin or toast before placing the eggs.
- Store leftover eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Here's how to make it:
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the oregano and garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Whisk until blended.
- Add the olive oil to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ham to the skillet and sauté until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the egg mixture. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, scramble the eggs until they are done to your preference, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Spread the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs then cover the pan. Allow to rest until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.
- Serve eggs on their own, or on top of a bagel, English muffin or toast as an egg sandwich.
