Instructions:
1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Sauté Ham and Pineapple: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the diced ham and pineapple to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the ham is lightly browned and the pineapple is warmed through.
3. Cook the Eggs: Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the ham and pineapple. Allow the eggs to set slightly before gently stirring with a spatula. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled to your desired consistency.
4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold it in until melted and evenly distributed.
5. Serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs to plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives. Serve immediately.

• Cheese Variations: Feel free to substitute cheddar with Monterey Jack or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair these scrambled eggs with toast, a side of fresh fruit, or hash browns for a complete breakfast.
