Instructions

Crack the eggs into a bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add a splash of milk and whisk everything together until it’s smooth and combined.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Toss in the chopped jalapeño and sauté for about 30 seconds, just enough to bring out the flavor.
Add the ham and stir it around for about a minute, letting it warm up and get a little color.
Pour in the whisked eggs and let them sit for a few seconds so the bottom starts to set.
Gently stir and scramble until the eggs are cooked the way you like. Soft and a little creamy, or fully cooked and fluffy.
Serve hot and enjoy! Simple, quick, and full of flavor.

Notes

If you like your eggs creamy, you can take them off the heat while they’re still a bit runny, cover the pan and let them finish cooking for a minute or two.
If you’re in a hurry, you can mix the peppers, ham, and eggs together and cook everything at once.
For fluffy, soft huevos con jamón, handle the eggs gently while cooking so the air from whisking stays inside.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
