Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the pepper and ham evenly across the skillet. Crack 4 eggs directly over the mixture, spacing them apart.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat. Serve immediately, scooping each egg with some ham and peppers onto plates.
