Instructions

Prep: Dice the plant-based ham. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with the dairy-free milk or water, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt until smooth.

Brown the “ham”: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, then the plant-based ham. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned around the edges.

Add spinach: If using, add the spinach and cook for 30–60 seconds, just until wilted.

Scramble the eggs: Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for about 10–15 seconds, then gently push and fold the eggs with a spatula. Continue cooking for 2–4 minutes, until softly set but still slightly glossy.

Finish: Stir in the chives or scallions and smoked paprika, if using. Taste and adjust the salt.
