Ingredients
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 Tbsps. water or milk
  • 1½ Tbsps. butter
  • 1 cup (about ⅓ lb.) cured ham, diced
  • ½ cup bell pepper, diced
  • ¾ cup red onion, diced
  • ¾ cup mushrooms, diced
  • 8 slices of cheese of choice, divided (I used Pepper Jack)
  • 8 slices of bread of choice plus enough butter to butter both sides of each slice, (I recommend sour dough which wasn't available so I used Italian)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and place rack in the middle.
  2. While oven heats, whip eggs and water together in a bowl with high walls and set aside. Then dice ham and veggies.
  3. Butter bread on both sides and arrange on a baking sheet. When the oven's ready, put the bread in and toast 10 minutes or until toasty. I flipped them after 6 minutes. Watch them closely though.
  4. Meanwhile, heat butter on medium heat in a non-stick skillet. Add ham and bell peppers and saute about 2 minutes.
  5. Add onions and mushrooms and saute about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in beaten eggs and move them around with a spatula or wooden spoon so they do not stick to the pan.
  7. After 2 to 3 minutes add 4 slices of cheese and reduce heat to medium/low. Push the eggs to the center of the pan and wait for them to finish cooking so there is no more liquid. At this point avoid moving them around too much as we want to keep them formed together so they aren't too crumbly.
  8. Turn on broiler. Remove 4 slices of the toasty bread from the baking sheet and set aside leaving 4 slices on the sheet.
  9. Spoon ¼ of the eggs on each of the 4 slices of bread and top with a slice of cheese. Place in the oven and broil 1 minute or until cheese melts. Do not walk away from the oven. Stay put so you do not ruin this!
  10. When the cheese is melted, top with with reserved slices of bread and you are ready to eat!
