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)

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.
