1. 1Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a bowl until no streaks of white remain.
2. 2Heat oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté pepper and onion for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add ham and cook for 1–2 minutes until hot. Transfer to a bowl.
3. 3Reduce heat to medium-low and melt half the butter in the skillet. Pour in half the egg mixture. As the edges set, gently push them toward the center with a silicone spatula, tilting the pan so uncooked egg flows underneath.
4. 4When the surface is almost set, sprinkle half the ham mixture and half the cheese over one side. Fold the other side over with a spatula.
5. 5Cover and cook on low for 1–2 minutes, until cheese melts and eggs are fully set; egg dishes should reach 160°F. Slide onto a plate. Repeat with remaining butter, eggs and filling.
6. 6Serve immediately with toast or fruit. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours for 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F.
