Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 4tbsp whole milk
  • 1tbsp salted butter, plus extra, for the toast (optional)
  • 4 slices sourdough or white bread
  • 4 big slices cooked ham
  • 4tbsp watercress

Method

Beat the eggs for 1 minute, then beat in the milk. Season with a little salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a small, heavy-based saucepan over a low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir gently with a fork until the eggs are just set. Immediately place the scrambled eggs on a dish and set aside.

Toast the bread and place them on 4 plates, buttering them if you like. Arrange the ham on the toast, not flat, so you get a bit of height. Divide the scrambled eggs on top and scatter with watercress.
