Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 sliced bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly charred, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add 4 oz diced ham to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the ham is heated through and slightly browned at the edges, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Spread the pepper and ham evenly across the skillet. Crack 4 eggs directly over the mixture, spacing them apart.
Step 4
Season the eggs with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Serve immediately, scooping each egg with some ham and peppers onto plates.
