Beat eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in ham strips and grated cheese like Emmental, Comté, Roquefort, Mimolette, or fresh goat cheese. Cook as usual. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs or diced tomatoes, fresh or preserved. Serve with a seasoned green salad for a complete family weeknight dinner.
For a lighter version, beat egg whites separately before folding into the yolks. Add a pinch of cornstarch to the whites for extra rise. Cook on the stovetop for 5 minutes, then bake for 10 more. Top lightly with herbs, spices, or grated cheese to preserve its airy texture.
Sauté thin potato strips and 1 chopped onion in fat for 30 minutes until tender. Pour in beaten eggs, cook briefly, then flip. Add zucchini slices, diced peppers or tomatoes, spices like paprika or chili, or chorizo for flavor.
