Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
8 ounces diced boneless country ham
1/2 cup diced roasted red peppers
12 large eggs, whisked until well blended
4 ounces grated Jarlsberg cheese (recommended: Kenny's Country)
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add butter and oil and swirl around the pan until melted. Add the country ham and saute until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Turn heat to low. Stir in roasted red peppers and beaten eggs. After the eggs begin to set, stir slowly from edge to edge with a heat-resistant rubber spatula until large curds form. This will take 5 minutes or so. When eggs are still moist and slightly runny, fold in the grated cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and serve with fried green tomatoes and buttermilk biscuits with sorghum butter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the scramble will taste. This is especially true for the eggs, cheese, and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Eggs are best when they are cooked until they are just set. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give the scramble a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables are a great way to add color, flavor, and nutrients to the scramble. Some good options include onions, peppers, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the scramble with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or paprika.
  • Serve immediately: Kentucky scramble is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the eggs are still fluffy and the cheese is melted.
