- 0.5 medium green bell pepper
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk together with the heavy cream until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Dice the ham into small cubes. Chop the bell peppers into small pieces. Thinly slice the green onions.
Step 3
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the ham and cook for about 2 minutes until it's lightly browned.

Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, letting them cook slowly while lightly folding the eggs with the ham and vegetables.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
