Step 1
Stir the mayonnaise and half-and-half in a big bowl until it’s nice and smooth. Then crack in the eggs and sprinkle in the dill weed and garlic powder, giving everything a good whisk.
Step 2
Warm up the bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the red bell pepper and cook it, stirring now and then, until it just starts to soften—about 2 minutes. Add the ham and onion to the pan, and keep cooking and stirring until the onion turns translucent and tender, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the veggies and ham. Cook everything gently, stirring frequently, until the eggs are fully set but still soft, about 5 minutes. Serve right away and enjoy!
Simple Serving Suggestions
Serve alongside toasted bread or crispy bacon to complement the smoky notes. Fresh herbs like chives or parsley add a bright contrast. A side of sautéed mushrooms or avocado can make it a complete and satisfying meal.
Leftover Care Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat to keep the eggs soft and avoid drying them out. Avoid freezing, as the texture may become rubbery.
