Things You'll Need

• 6 eggs
• 5 tablespoons cold water
• 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper

• 1/2 cup diced cooked ham

Instructions

1. Place your oven rack in the middle of your oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the cast iron frying pan with margarine or vegetable oil.

2. Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add the cold water and beat. Add celery salt and white pepper to the eggs, and blend together.
