• 1 tablespoon butter – For cooking the eggs and adding richness.
• ¼ teaspoon salt – For seasoning.
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper – For a touch of spice.
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional) – For garnish and freshness.

Tools You’ll Need

• Nonstick skillet – For cooking the eggs gently.
• Mixing bowl – To whisk the eggs and ingredients.
• Whisk or fork – For beating the eggs until fluffy.
• Spatula – For stirring the eggs gently as they cook.

How to Make Fluffy Hawaiian Scrambled Eggs

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
If using fresh pineapple, peel and dice the pineapple into small pieces. If using canned, make sure it’s drained well. Dice the ham into small cubes.

Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together with the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the eggs are fully combined and slightly frothy, which helps create a fluffy texture.

Step 3: Cook the Ham and Pineapple
In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced ham and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly browned. Add the pineapple to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the pineapple to release some of its sweetness and heat up.

Step 4: Scramble the Eggs
Reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the ham and pineapple mixture. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a few seconds. Then, gently stir with a spatula, moving from the edges to the center to form soft curds. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the eggs from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness (optional). Serve immediately with toast, fresh fruit, or a side of roasted potatoes.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with crispy toast or warm croissants for a complete breakfast.
• Pair with a refreshing smoothie or fresh tropical fruit like mango or papaya.
• Great with a side of hash browns or avocado for a filling meal.

Tips for the Best Fluffy Hawaiian Scrambled Eggs

• Low and Slow – Cooking the eggs on low heat ensures they stay soft and fluffy. Don’t rush them!
• Don’t Overcook – Remove the eggs from the heat when they’re still slightly underdone. They’ll continue to cook in the pan from residual heat.
• Use Fresh Ingredients – Fresh pineapple adds a juicier and more vibrant flavor than canned pineapple.
• Creamy Texture – The addition of coconut milk helps make the eggs extra creamy and soft. You can adjust the amount of coconut milk for a richer or lighter texture.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerate: Store any leftover scrambled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Gently reheat in the microwave or on the stove over low heat. Add a little coconut milk to bring back some creaminess if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?
A: Yes, you can use egg whites, but the texture will be a bit less rich and fluffy. To compensate, you may want to add a little extra coconut milk for creaminess.

Q2: Can I use other fruits besides pineapple?
A: Yes, you can experiment with other tropical fruits like mango or papaya. Just be sure to dice them small and cook them for a minute or two before adding the eggs.

Q3: Can I make these eggs ahead of time?
A: Scrambled eggs are best eaten fresh for the fluffiest texture, but you can prepare the ham and pineapple mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Simply cook the eggs when you’re ready to serve.
