Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and half-and-half until smooth. Then add the eggs, dill weed, and garlic powder, giving everything a good mix. Set this mixture aside for a moment.
Step 2
Heat up the bacon drippings in a big skillet over medium heat. Toss in the red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften—this should take about 2 minutes. Next, add the ham and onion to the pan. Keep cooking and stirring until the onions turn translucent and tender, which will take around 5 more minutes.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the veggies and ham. Cook gently, stirring often, until the eggs are fully set but still soft, about 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
What To Serve With This Dish
Serve with toasted bread or warm tortillas to soak up the eggs. Fresh herbs like chives or parsley add a nice contrast. Pair with avocado slices or a side of sautéed mushrooms for a balanced meal.
Freezing Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Eat within 1-2 days for the best taste and texture. Reheat gently on low heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to keep them creamy.
