Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or ½ teaspoon dried basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or ½ teaspoon dried mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or ½ teaspoon dried sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup diced prosciutto or cooked ham (2 oz)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (⅓ cup)
Instructions
- 1Whisk the eggs, basil, mint, sage, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl until completely combined. Beating the eggs thoroughly ensures a lighter, fluffier texture. Stir the diced prosciutto into the egg mixture.
- 2Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until it softens and becomes crisp-tender.
- 3Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cover the pan and cook for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the eggs are set around the edges and lightly browned underneath. Remove from the heat and slice into wedges.
Notes
- Swap: You can easily substitute cooked ham or crumbled bacon if you don't have prosciutto on hand.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy cold or gently reheated.
- Tip: Fresh herbs provide the brightest flavor, but you can use dried herbs in a pinch. Just reduce the amounts as dried herbs are more potent.
