1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chopped country ham
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
6 eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ham and red pepper.
Saute until ham is browned and pepper is slightly soft.
Meanwhile, mix eggs, cream, salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic in a medium bowl.
Whisk vigorously until the eggs are a uniform color with no streaks.
Spread ham mixture evenly in the pan.
Pour egg mixture over it without stirring.
As mixture begins to set, lift edges gently and allow uncooked eggs to run to the bottom.
Continue in this manner until eggs are almost dry.
Stir egg mixture completely ("scramble") and add the shredded cheese.
Stir until cheese is melted.
