Preparation

Step 1

In a nonstick fry pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and green and red bell peppers and sauté, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the ham and sauté for 1 minute more.

Add the eggs, season with salt and white pepper and cook, stirring and scraping frequently, until the eggs form soft, moist curds that bind with the other ingredients, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese and continue stirring and scraping until the eggs are done to your liking.

Spoon onto warmed individual plates and garnish with the parsley. Serve immediately.
