Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk eggs with milk, half the cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  3. Step 3

    Add cooked spaghetti and ham to the skillet, breaking the pasta into 2-inch pieces, and stir for 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Pour egg mixture evenly over the pasta, tilting the pan so it settles to the bottom.

  5. Step 5

    Cook without stirring for 6–7 minutes until edges brown and center still jiggles slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Slide the skillet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until the top is golden.

  7. Step 7

    Let cool for 2 minutes. Slide onto a cutting board, garnish with fresh herbs, and cut into wedges.
