Add ham and peppers. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
Turn heat to medium-low and add egg mixture. Allow to cook for about 2 minutes.
Run the spatula along the edges of the egg mixture while lifting the pan to allow raw egg to run underneath the cooked eggs.
Once the eggs are almost set, add cheese and cover. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes until the top is set and the cheese is melted.
Fold in half and serve.
