Scrambled eggs with jambon

Scrambled eggs with jambon

A starving Filipino is not what you want in a small condo. So one day I had to think fast for my Mary, and here’s what I came up with – Scrambled eggs with jambon.

She was hungry, and needed food before taking pain killers – this was initially cooked post Jude – shows you how along this one came out first. Emergency – quick what to do, I know eggs – but let’s make them special… hmmmm what else is that I see in the fridge, BING!!! Scrambled eggs with jambon.

Here you go – enough for two sharing, and you’ll want to share as these are flipping delicious!!!

• 3 eggs;
• 2 tablespoons of double cream; and
• A pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Whisk these together until light and airy – basically all mixed together and with bubbles on top. Use a fork or a whisk;

• 3 slices of Jambon or cured ham, sliced in to thin strips;
• 1 garlic clove finely chopped; and
• 1 packet of grated cheese – I used white cheddar.

1. Take a pan, add in a couple of glugs of olive oil and fry off the garlic and the Jambon until the garlic is softened and the ham is starting to crisp;
2. Add in the egg mixture and stir it around continually, it will therefore gradually cook;
3. When it starts to firm up a little add in half a cup of cheese and again stir it round until the cheese melts;
4. Do NOT overcook these, this will literally takes a minute or two, so shiny and slightly wobbly, not solid;
5. Turn off the heat and serve away – maybe with some finely sliced Spring onion on top.

This was absolutely flipping brilliant – one of, if not the best egg dishes I have made to date – without a doubt!!! Scrambled eggs with jambon. But also folks how easy, seriously how easy!!! You should try this one, seriously good and seriously tasty – ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
