Tater Tot Ham Scramble

Make sure the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.

To add a kick of heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes, spicy ketchup, or hot sauce over the scramble.

Try different herbs and seasonings like paprika, cayenne pepper, or garlic powder.

For a lower-fat option, use turkey ham or turkey bacon instead of traditional ham.

To add a touch of sweetness, caramelize the onions separately and add to the scramble towards the end.
