Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 oz ham
  • 2 each flour tortillas (8-inch)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp green onions(optional)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce(optional)
  • 1/8 tsp salt(optional)
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep (about 10 minutes): Dice the ham. Chop green onions (if using). Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk with soy sauce, salt (if using), and black pepper (if using). Grate or measure the cheese.

  2. 2

    Cook (about 12 minutes): Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tbsp sesame oil. Pour in the eggs and scramble gently until just set, about 3–4 minutes. Remove to a plate.

    Pan-crisp: Cook until the bottom is golden, about 3–4 minutes, then flip carefully and cook the other side until crisp and the cheese is melted, about 3–4 minutes more. Drizzle remaining 1/2 tbsp sesame oil around the edges if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve: Slice into wedges and top with green onions (if using).
